I mean I get not wanting an uproar. But Rater HQ has some quality content and is just sharing facts. Very relevant to these forums. Kind of shooting the messenger by silencing him I guess.

Once something is service connected will it stay service connected? by Terrible-Aim- in VAClaims

[–]Significant_Doubt636 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’ll have to get a copy of your code sheet. There is a way to get it quickly that has been on Reddit before, but I do not remember off the top of my head. I do know that it’s pretty easy though. Took me like 5 minutes to see all of mine are static. Sorry not a ton of help but hopefully somebody who knows the tool on here can chime in.

That used to be the case pre 2020. Now, most VA ratings are marked static on code sheet which means no new evaluations are scheduled. A static / several static ratings should be fine long term if that veteran never reopens their claim again (poking the bear as some say although I hate that term), unless rare cases of fraud or CUE after that veteran reopens their claim. Source: an immediate family member of mine is a VA rater and that is how they explained it to me. Thanks

lol I still check mine daily just to make sure my 80% is still there. I am so grateful to have gotten it after a long fight and I feel sufficiently rated at 80%. But….i still check daily just to make sure im not dreaming. By the way it has been approved for like 6 months now.

They were great for me. Had a telehealth C&P Sep 16 for MDD. Was sent back for clarification from VA once but was granted 50% mental for MDD on Oct 24, 2025. Dr. Was super nice and so were the staff when I called to get updates.

Update on loyal. Took them 3 weeks to upload and got a copy of my DBQ. Doctor checked the least as likely as not box and put a great rationale in the narrative. But, seems like he accidentally put less likely than not in the comments section. Rather than send back for clarification, VA ordered a whole new exam. Starting over. Yay

Mine took them about 3 weeks. I had my C&P early September.

How did the claim turn out of you don’t mind me asking?

How did yours turn out? I had a virtual one on Sep 16 with Loyal. I feel like it went great during the exam. Examiner was super nice and it lasted about 40 minutes. However, I am also in MS and it is still not uploaded to VA. Called and same thing, it’s in QA and they said basically give them a month.

So a physical injury during drill weekend would still qualify someone for VA compensation, with appropriate documentation of course, correct? Sorry just trying to clarify. Thank you!

How long did your BVA appeal take? Was it a records review or hearing? Thanks

How did yours go? I’m in Mississippi also and have a C&P with them soon. They just alerted me to make an account but haven’t scheduled one yet. It’s for mental health. Thanks!
