    general Is it possible to have 27 10% VA ratings for 100%?

    I heard you need 27 ratings at 10% to get to 100%. Can that really happen? Having 27 ratings seems like a lot, but then again, there are so many disabilities you can be rated for. Just something that would amaze me if there's a veteran out there with 27 disabilities rated at 10% each...

    question Is loan forgiveness possible for Parent Plus loans taken after receiving a 100% VA rating?

    I've got a question about getting student loans forgiven. I just got a 100% rating, but I already paid off my student loans a while back. My son is in college now. Can I get Parent Plus loans for her last 3 years of school and then ask to have them forgiven?

    question Should back pay for a PACT Act Sleep Disturbance award extend to August 2022?

    Just got awarded Sleep Disturbance under the PACT ACT, bumping me up to 100%. But the back pay was only for 2 months, basically the time from submission to getting the award. I'm wondering, shouldn't the back pay stretch back to August 2022? I made sure to file before the cutoff.

    question Is it possible for a veteran to be 100% rated for mental health and still work full-time?

    Can it be the case that a veteran is rated 100% for a singular condition, such as a mental health issue, yet remain fully employed without any limitations? In the situation I'm describing, the vet does not fall under IU or TDIU.

    question How does ongoing anxiety and depression treatment affect VA disability ratings?

    If you're getting seen for anxiety and depression like every week and you're on meds that help with the symptoms, will the VA give you a 0% rating or what? I'm kind of thinking out loud here, but if the meds are keeping things steady, does the VA think that means you're not really disabled?

    question Can a New Claim Denial Impact My Current VA Rating?

    Hello, I received a 70% rating for depression on my initial 2023 claim. I'm preparing to submit another claim for sleep apnea and tinnitus. I'm curious, if my second claim is denied, will it impact my existing rating in any way?

    question Can a 100% P&T VA rating expedite SSDI applications already in process?

    I understand that having a 100% P&T VA rating can expedite my SSDI application. I live in Illinois, and recently, I was informed by a call that my local office has nearly completed my paperwork, which is now on its way to Springfield for the final decision. They mentioned that this final step...
