4. Proper way to add pages to TDIU form 21-8940

   What is the proper way to attach additional pages to the TDIU request form (VA Form 21-8940)? My DAV VSO is saying use the VA Form 21-4187 (I may have written that form number wrong). I can't find that form number, but he called it a statement in support of the claim form. Which seems only to apply to lay statements. My problem is that my medical treatment history and my employment history exceeds the space on the TDIU form and it exceeds the Remarks section. I can make a note in the Remarks section that says see attached and give each attachment a title, one called Medical Treatment and another called Employment History but is this the best way to include …

5. 7-Day Decision on a 30-year-old Matter: Entering The Guessing Period

   I just found out the VA made a decision on a supplemental claim I filed only a week ago concerning a now 30-year-old claim. The matter involves an earlier effective date for TDIU to match the recent grant of an earlier effective date for service connection for GAD. They denied the EED for TDIU based primarily on the now-defunct date of service connection for GAD in 2017 so I sent them that decision along with evidence supporting my inability to earn a decent living for almost thirty years. I averaged over that time, $6000 dollars a year. How much consideration went into records that support a retroactive rating the same as my current of 70% I don't know but most of t…

6. TDIU and Somatic Symptom Disorder, can You point me in the right direction?

   I have 70% for Somatic Symptom Disorder and 30% for tendinitis (10% each for left and right ankle and left knee). Using the VA Math I am at 80%. I want to get a hundred. I will save you the story, but what I go through, is not the amount of 80%. I can not walk, sleep, move etc. Its a nightmare. Anyway, I have researched TDIU, but I can not find anything in how I can obtain this due to Somatic Symptom Disorder. Does anyone know what I can read, watch, or do inorder to start building a case. Is there anyone out there that won a TDIU for SSD? I wont bother, just want to know if its possible for this condition. Thank you in advance for you…

7. tdiu No Retroactive pay 7 months after approval for TDIU

   Was approved for TDIU ON FEB1, 2021. I am having issues getting any straight answer from the VA as to when i will receive my pay raise and retroactive pay. I spoke with the fiduciary hub today and they told me that the funds were approved for release on Aug 17Th, and now its up to the Appeals Management Center to do whatever it is they do to make the deposit happen. does anyone know how long THAT could take, or did i just get another canned answer? Any advice, encouragement, or the number to the AMC would be greatly appreciated. Everyone i talk to have said that i shouldn’t have waited this long. thanks!

8. Appeal or Supplemental Claim

   So I got my decision letter a week or so ago. I was denied increase fro 70% PTSD to 100%, due to me not meeting the criteria for 100% according to the CFR. I was also denied TDIU because my former employers would not send back the 21-4192. I had an appointment with my local VA office and they were clueless. They stated that since it was my responsibility to ensure that the 21-4192 were returned, and the employers didn't return, that is why my claim for TDIU was denied. However, So, the question is, what's the better option? Should I appeal the decision, or should I open a supplemental claim? I have also read that if the 21-4192 is not filled out by the employ…

9. TDIU Effective Date

   Hello everyone, I have a quick question concerning TDIU. My last employer terminated me because of my service-connected disability. If approved for TDIU, will the VA back pay me to the date that I signed the TDIU form and submitted my claim, or will they back pay me to the date that I put on the TDIU form that I last worked? My VSO initially told me that I would be paid from the date I last worked. Then on another day he told me that I would be paid from the date I submitted the claim. So I just want to get the correct answer. Thanks for any replies.

10. Can I pastor a church???

    I'm at 90% (paid at 100%), total & permanant, and unemployable(thru VA, with no reeval scheduled) I also get SS Disability, but now I have an opportunity to pastor a small church. Would I lose everything if I take the position? Or could I take it if I kept the income under the poverty level?

11. TDIU for Dummies

    I swear I looked in the pinned post, but I guess I didn't see anything, or it wasn't clear. I am ready to file a claim for TDIU. Currently at 90% combined with 70% of that being PTSD. So, I meet the 70/60/40 rule since one of my ratings is greater than 60%. Also, I have been fired from 2 jobs within the past year, and most recently, it was due to (my thoughts) my PTSD (we have filed a complaint with EEOC for that as well) because I missed too much work for doctors appointments and such. Background out of the way now... Is there a "How to file TDIU for Dummies" guide somewhere around here? Last claim I filed was on ebenefits, but as I understand that has now…

12. When does my 100% IU P&T rating become protected?

    I became 100% IU P&T in 2006. I am 53 years old. At what point is my rating protected from removal/reduction, and my income limited to making (poverty level $). I understand that the VA and the IRS work in collaboration to ensure I do not make more than the poverty level, while I’m 100% IU P&T? For how many years??

14. Doordash and TDIU

    My question is can you be on TDIU and still do Doordash? Next year will be 10 years TDIU for me. I'd like to make some extra money to payoff bills and think about a bigger home for my family. I know there's no way I can work like I used to, I've accepted my limitations, but Doordash would let me work when I want and if I'm hurting, I don't have to do anything. Plus I think it would qualify under both marginal and protected environment work. Honestly, though, the VA terrifies me, and I've heard stories of vets who followed the rules and got screwed anyway. So I'm asking for advice or anyone with experience here. I tried going on the Board of Veterans Appeals …

15. How long til TDIU starts paying after granted

    The BVA granted my rating increase for PTSD and TDIU claim May 6th, and remanded my claims for ulcers, hypertension, and knees. I still haven't started getting my TDIU pay per month or my actual rating on ebenefits hasn't changed. Supposedly it only takes 2 months to see change at least that's what it says on claim. Has anyone had this problem? I called the # they give on website and was told they hold it til they complete remands. That dont make sense wouldnt change if I got other claims granted with TDIU. I really need some advise here please.

16. Input on TDIU claim

    Good afternoon everyone, I was hoping that someone more knowledgeable may be able to provide input on my claim. Im currently rated a combined 90%, 70% PTSD w/alcohol use disorder and 50% cirrhosis. I haven't been able to work since 2017. I filed a claim for TDIU but VA rejected the claim after my C&P so I retained an attorney. I then had a virtual assessment with a licensed psychologist who assessed me and wrote up his findings. My attorney filed a supplemental claim and included the letter from the psychologist. I received another rejection from VA stating that the doctor's letter "does not constitute relevant evidence because it does not prove or disprov…
