tdiu Refusing Tdiu
I know you have to have at least one rate of 60% and a minimum combind of 70% but if you file for an increase is there a possibility the VA might say heck he has all this going on lets just make him TDIU? I really do not want to quit my job and feel I would go batty without working at this stage of my life but my condition is getting worse and my working is obviously contributing to it. Oh well starting to babble. Please let me know what all you guys/girls think. Good luck with your claims! Stillhere

tdiu Claim Processing Timeline
http://oldtimer.wordpress.com/2007/06/26/v...ppeals-process/ I thought that this would be helpful to those of us that are awaiting decisions. I have been calling the VA on a weekly basis since as was said earlier each rep will give you different information. I called on Friday and was told that my claim was not even given to a Rating Specalist to review although it was at the board. Today I called and was told that my claim went to Post Determination on 29Oct07. This is for my TDIU which was submitted in June 07. So far according to the flowchart they are on schedule so I am hoping, wishing and praying that I have something new to be thankful this Thanksgiving.

C&p Notification
Just got a notice from RO that a C&P is to be scheduled. We don't know if we should be happy or not. The new evidence was sent in only 4 weeks ago. This is pretty quick for VA response. We filed a CUE in June 2007 on an orginal claim that was denied in 2000. About a month after we filed we received a VCAA asking for more evidence. I thought that did not sound right , but I sent them an IMO and new buddy letters as new evidence. It has appears to me that they are treating this as a claim to reopen on new evidence not on the CUE we filed. We are inexpierenced in the claims process and really don't know what is going on. We had a very good IMO giving nexus. T…

tdiu Claims File Back To Director Of Two Psychiatrist
Thanks so much to all of you for your earlier response. Am I being Paranoid or realistic? I haven't received my letter, but from what I understand it is for a New Opinion and perhaps a C&P. I know that it is there or going to the Director of Psychiatry, boss of the two psychiatrist. Having slept on this one. I have to wonder " Why would the Rater sent this particular C&P back twice to the medical center? Why would she want to help me remove the only negative that I have against my claim. Directly from the remand: 7. After the above development has been completed, the veteran's claims file should returned to the board of VA psychiatrists who p…

Bva 2007 Decision Grants Cue
http://www.va.gov/vetapp07/files3/0722335.txt CUE claims can succeed but as you can tell in this claim- they have to be clearly stated as to the legal errors in the alledged CUE decision. Also this case clearly states that VCAA letters are not to be sent to CUE claimants.

Decision On Earlier Effective Date
My DRO Hearing for EED was denied in 6 days. In a nutshell the DRO ruled that Hartness V Nicholson applied only to Veterans over 65 and in no way applies to me. I intend to fill out a form 9 and appeal but I am a little discouraged. I did not read Hartness as applying to a particular sub set of Veterans maybe I can't read. Pete

Decision Ready To Be Made?
I was told on yesterday that my claim was marked for ready to make a decision with the rater but it could take 60 to 90 days. However, since my claim was over a year old it could be sooner. Has anyone got this type of response from the VA when checking on claim?

tdiu Got Some Good News But A Little Confused
To make this a little better in understanding I will not quote the decision from the va letter I recieved today. I recieved a decision which gave me a rating of 90 percent overall. My orthopedic dr. stated I was unemployable do to my service connected disabilities. here is a quote from the rating official. "the examiner stated that the veteran is unemployable as a result of his service connected disabilities, as a result of this statement this issue will be deffered." I never filed for TDIU and have been trying to get in touch with my dav rep. He has not returned my call in over a week. Do I have to file paperwork for this or will the va contact me with another l…
