Hi Doc, I think yes you can get a true 100% but only if your employment is jeopardized!
So if you got a 60% now, and get another 30%, you move up to 70%  But the only reason you got the 30% on the second claim to start with is because you are still able to work.  that second 30% is not significantly interfering.  But if you file with a new disability that now wipes you out of work, then you would be upgraded to 100%.  Same if you refile on an old one Like Carly, that wipes you out of work, the rating will change to 100%.

Hi Greg,

Yes, but I understand it is not considered a 'true' 100%.  Be that as it may, I applied for unemployability and was denied. :(

Yes, I see your point Doc.  The odds of coming up with another diagnosis that would be rated 100% of the left over 40% are slim and you still wouldn't reach a true 100%, leaving the only option of a true 100% is if your original Ischemic disease getting worse and then you would have to re-file on your original claim.  But if your original diagnosis worsens to 100%, then that is no good either with such a poor prognosis.

I'd say the VA had some pretty good accountants when they figured all this out.  I wonder if they would help me with my taxes :-)
