Never seen a IU claim move so fast!!!!!
I had a C&P exam on the 29th and the has been completed on the 31st that's fast. I don't know if that's good or bad, the claim is for IU they say the letter will be mailed out on the 4th. I checked the A8B letter no changes to it yet hopefully it changes on the 4th. If any one has any thoughts please post them. Thanks

tdiu BVA Appeal decision - TDIU warranted but not ordered
Today I received my BVA decision in the BBE. I have been working my own claim since 2006 -- yep, almost 10 years. I filed for IU in 2008, even though my ratings were in the VA hamster wheel. The RO has continued to grant and increase in small doses -- essentially obfuscating the effective date. I continued to appeal those decisions. Finally, the my case came before the BVA, and the BVA ordered the effective dates to 2006 in the "order" section. One other issue was remanded back to AMC/RO for further development. HOWEVER, on the issue of TDIU -- under the "conclusions of law" section it states; "Resolving doubt in the favor of the veteran, the criteria for TDIU has be…

ptsd C&P for TDIU today...cant cope
I have a C&P scheduled today for TDIU...and I am so stressed out I am sick. This is my second evaluation for PTSD and Kidney problems as it was on appeal. I am currently 70% combined and SSDI has me rated 100% for PTSD..<service connected .....and a back injury that is not service connected. My question is what do I need to do this time to not sabotage myself? The last C& P I had a young lady spend not more than 6 min with me and I explained what day to day life was like for me.....I requested the copy of the C&P report and she recommended no increase because she put on the report that since I was able to watch some TV...I was still employable. My appeal …

Really, I think there's another solution. Anybody???

ptsd Today is important Short Term Disability--IU?
Need some advice. As the title states, today is pretty important to me. A major decision, today. I have an appt @1500 with my Psychiatrist, and I'm going to bring up Short Term Disability questions. She mentioned it months ago for me since I had to work around timelines at work. I stated then that I wasn't sure if I wanted work to "know" about my PTSD, et cetera. Now, I am at that point (waaay past that point) of getting no work done, being written up, and basically close to being let go. I cannot concentrate, I feel like a zombie, and my PTSD symptoms are worsening. I am going to ask her today what her thoughts are on this. I cannot work any more, keep missing days…

IU Training Letter & Updates
In the 07' TRaining Letter For IU, under paragraph 3a. It basically states that if IU is inferred and vet does not return the form 21-8940 within 60 days that va will go forward with a decision minus the IU. Goes on to state that if the 21-8940 is filled out sent to and received by VA within one year of claim decision, that the claim will be re rated. My question is with the subsequent Training Letters since 07', does a veteran still have one year from decision to submit 21-8940 and be re rated.?
