100% rating but future exam date

Question:

I am 100%, but have a future exam date, for one of my disabilities (I’m still 100% without it, based on the schedule), will my dependent be eligible for education benefits? How can I request P&T?

Jim's Reply:

Many ratings that are assigned by VA are temporary in nature as VA believes there is opportunity for improvement over time. That there is a future exam date scheduled for you tells us your benefit is temporary and dependents aren't eligible for benefits when you have a temp rating.

There is no path to seek permanence unless and until during a future exam an examiner notes that your condition has become stable and that any measurable improvement isn't likely to happen. At that point your rating may become permanent.
