tdiu iu claim

[wes1]

I just received tis pending on E- Benefits and haven't got the paperwork yet.  From what I am reading here, the VA themselves started the IU claim and just want the form they sent me filled out, I will get the answers by my law dogs and vso, I just wanted opinions and advice here also as I have found it to be helpful above and beyond what the so called professionals say at times.  Any input is appreciated.

When the VA sees evidence that a veteran is unemployable due to service connected disability or disabilities, they infer a claim for TDIU. It is then up to the veteran to submit an application for TDIU. The veteran has one year to submit the VAF 21-8940 to complete the claim, and if not, the claim expires.

Check with your VSO immediately as it appears they are inferring a award for TDIU. You and your VSO will probably have to fill out the correct form and send it in to win the award! Good luck and keep us all posted!

You must file the IU Claim. "Inferred Claim" indicates that your SC's make you scheduler eligible to file a claim, it's not a guarantee of an IU award.

Do your SC conditions make you unable to work, even at a Sedentary job? Does your current employer make accommodations for you due to your SC disabilities? Are you self-employed or working in a family business or other type protective employment? In the past 12 months, have you earned in excess of the current VA IU SGI (Substantially Gainful Income) amount of $12,400.00 if under 65?

As I recall, IU rating brings in about $16K over 90% Comp. FILE THE CLAIM, YESTERDAY!
