I received my letter about my disability awards, and have a few questions.
I had applied for 2 different ones. The first one for PTSD was granted. My first question about it is that it says the following:
Your Assessment
-The medical information available to us shows your Post Traumatic Stress Disorder has not yet stabilized. As a result, we cannot assess the total extent of your disability at this time.
-Until your condition has stabilized, we are granting you an initial minimum assessment of 10%.
It goes on from there, but does this 10% mean that the amount I am getting is 10% of the total I might get? I don't really understand all the percents when it comes to disability awards and such.
My second question is about my second claim, which was not granted. I won't type out the exact wording but basically during BMQ I got plantar fasciitis. They said it was not granted because after going through physio, I no longer filed complaints about it. Problem was, both the doctor at the MIR and the physio therapist told me it simply can't be cured and after physio, that is as good as its gonna get so I saw no point in continuing to complain about something that wasn't gonna go away, and I still have a lot of pain from it.
I guess my question is, how hard is it to appeal things and what is the typical time frame?
Thanks in advance.
