AIUI, pretty much everyone can get a partial disability rating for tinnitus

Sounds...legit tho? I sure wouldn't want tinnitus, so if that can be softened, seems worth doing.

  • I think the implication is that people who don't have tinnitus can also claim it - there's no objective test to verify whether it's true.

    • Also, what is the point of a partial disability payment?

      Is it to compensate you for the lost income you couldn’t have earned if not for the disability? That would be in line with the goal of normal disability.
