Description
A lot of veterans believe their VA disability rating automatically becomes permanent once they reach a certain age.
That’s not how it works.
In this video, VA disability expert and disabled Air Force Veteran Brian Reese breaks down what actually determines whether a VA disability rating is considered permanent, static, total, or Permanent & Total (P&T).
You’ll learn:
Why age alone does not make a VA disability rating permanent
What the VA looks at when determining permanence
What a static VA disability means
Why static conditions generally aren’t scheduled for routine future exams
How to find out whether your disabilities are listed as static
The difference between permanent, total, temporary total, and 100% P&T
Why a disability can be permanent without being rated 100%
Why being 100% P&T does not automatically mean you cannot work
