Hoping to get legit advice from others that know.

So after 2 deployments to Iraq, CAB all that stuff, in 2009 I was rated 50% PTSD with major depression. I never went back to the VA ever again.

I hit cancer in 2023 (pact act) so was temp 100%, then rated the j residuals after.

Ever since I went back to work my monthly performance ratings have been slowly decreasing. I started seeing a psychologist/psychiatrist cause as happy as I was beating cancer, I have been messed up more than I thought.

I just don’t know if it’s worth “poking the bear”? I’m almost at that 20 year mark where I can never be reduced from 50%. I doubt I would be evaluated lower than that.

Maybe wait a year and see what the psychologist thinks and what he diagnosis’s me with? Maybe never claim increase since the way the rate has changed since 2009?
