  1. So I am receiving 70% for social anxiety disorder and unspecified depressive disorder, totaling 80%. I am finding it harder and harder to find and keep a full time job in my career field. I currently work part time in another field, making far less than I would if I were working in my field, and it is directly related to my social anxiety disorder. Im thinking of filing for TDIU, but from what i hear they look over my whole situation and it would be a disaster if they lower my rating for any reason, but I think I have a valid reason for filing for TDIU. I am a certified surgical tech, so obviously that requires a high level of social interaction, which is the problem. Should I file for TDIU, or just leave it alone because a reduction would be devastating to my finances right now. What are the odds of reduction?
  2. I got an appointment with the VA, I have to do labs first, I have s/c depression and before I was s/c'd I self medicated, would that affect anything when I do to do my lab work?
  3. I wasn't expecting that much... wow
  4. So with deferred decisions, which the one that went to notification was, is that usually a good or bad sign, usually are they SC'ed or not?
  5. Ok just checked eben, my status is now in Preparation for Notification.. Can I call the VA to find out my rating or do I have to wait? If they granted me treatment for my depression, is that a sign that they will service connect it? It's weird, it says granted treatment for depression, but the actual depression rating got deferred.
  6. So last week my claim went to the PDA phase, with the est date 8/8/16, then it moved to more evidence on that day with a est date of 3/28/17, now today it moved back to PDA with the est comp date this Sunday??... SUNDAY?
  7. So in my packet it says I'm entitled to healthcare. I asked the guy if it even covers stuff not in my records, I asked him if I got cancer, or AIDS, can I be treated. He said yes! Is this VA healthcare good enough for me to drop my current healthcare that I'm paying for?
  8. I don't know if my issue is listed, I just had a sinus surgery to unclog my nose, and now both are clogged. I can't remember if I had polyps or not.
  9. Is there a guide on what percentages bilateral nasal blockage is? Its labeled as "nasal surgery in service, with residual clogged bilateral nostrils", In my smr and C&P.
  10. Is there a guide on what percentages bilateral nasal blockage is? Its labeled as "nasal surgery in service, with residual bilateral nostrils", In my smr and C&P.
  11. What does the differed decision mean? Im guessing it means they want to get a second opinion, is it usually a good or bad thing? I mean they didn't outright deny, so I'm guessing its a good thing? The two things that got deferred were (nasal turbinate enlargement, s/p surgery with residual clogged bilateral nostrils (claimed as sinus surgery residuals)) and anxiety condition, depression.
