Hello, my name is Archie Butler and I am a medically retired government employee. I received a 20% rating by the DMA effective 01/14/2025 but the change caused a reversal from the sixth to the 5th edition so the CE stated the doctors needed to change to the 5th edition for lower extremity damage from spine condition. Now with the update as of February 10, 2025 they are going back to the 6th edition. The CE refuses to address what we do now as I await the 20% payment. What is going on???
