My case worker told me to push for the whole 100% because my initial rating was so high at 70%. She said that they never give you the whole amount the first time... So I filed another claim about five months ago and I should get my rating with the next month. If I were to get 100% that would give me $2,600 a month but I would not be able to work...
gypski Reviewed by gypski on . obtaining a license I am from Oklahoma and considering moving this summer. I would like to know before i move if I would be able to obtain a license? I am 29 and a veteran. I have a degenerative disc in my lower back that causes muscle spasms. If that does not qualify me in washington I would be forced to move to New Mexico and get my license for my PTSD... Who wants to live in the desert??? I would like to know how this process works. It is kinda hard to sift through all of the websites. Thanks... Rating: 5
