4. Annual TDIU Forms

   Hello All, I have an impending C&P exam for IU. My VSO was telling me there are annual forms that have to be filled out for those on IU for income purposes. I was wondering if anyone had a link to those form(s) or what actually constitutes income. From what I can tell, it's kind of a messy definition. I have no earned income per IRS and SSA, but the VA seems to define it much differently. I'd like to view these forms so I can begin to prepare myself for what these terms mean and familiarize myself with these forms. Thanks, Sgt. Wilky

5. Owcp LWEC then awarded VA 70% with TDUI deferred.

   10% for tinnitus, my left ear is shot. I had just received that ratings, then the second part of the NOD came back from the board for 70% for MDD, anxiety disorder, sleep disturbance secondary to Tinnitus. I'm on OWCP for MDD and Anxiety. How does the VA view my secondary conditions as far as VA disability is concerned? I know if it's the same condition you have to elect one. Thanks

7. Who decides TDIU claims

   I was wondering who approves/denies TDIU claims. Is it VARO, BVA, or director of compensation? The director of compensation approved my disability as extraschedular. Does my disability being rated as extraschedular help my case? I also have 2 c&p examiners that say it affects my ability to work. Thanks for any answers.

8. TDIU Decision???

   I'm took anxious to wait for the decision letter which was mailed today (5.24), so I'm looking for feedback on what I do know. The decision was mailed today, 7 days after the evidence gathering was completed. A D&C exam was scheduled but the decision was made with the exam. My e-benefits page has not changed from my previous 70%. Should the e-benefits site change if awarded TDIU? Any ideas on what this MAY indicate? Thanks,

10. TDIU issues

    I put in a intent to file on 19 February 2019, submitted claim for increase for mental health/other specified trauma/stress related disorder in Dec 2019. Was approved and increased from 50% to 70%. I then submitted for TDIU with my mental health disorder and sleep apnea I have a combined rating of 90% with my 10% tinnitis. I ended up having to submit everything on my own as it was march of 2020 and our VSO shut down the VSO offices and I could not make contact with DAV. I recieved a letter that I may get a call for info from a doctor as they would be doing a records review, I "assumed" since I just had a C&P for mental health in February 2020 that they were using it …

11. Just filed for TDIU, should I be worried? Am I gonna die?

    So I meet all the requirements, I have a service connected social anxiety disorder rated at 70%. Due to that, I am unable to work in around people, without severe symptoms. I have not worked in over 2 years leaving my last job due to social anxiety. I filled out the two forms and mailed it today. Should I have any worry about the next few steps? What i've read may or may not have to do another c&p, and it should be an open and shut case, because I match every requirement. What do you guys think, would I be an open and shut case, or will this be a long and drawn out fight? Also, is there a back pay for tdiu? Thanks in advance bros!

12. Is TDIU Always Permanent and Total

    Hi, I was recently rated as 70% disabled secondary to something called Frontal Lobe Syndrome. I no longer have gainful employment so I'm applying for TDIU. For my wife to have access to ChampVA, must TDIU be specifically rated as "permanent and total"? Or, is TDIU always rated as P&T? Thanks

13. Chapter 35 Benefits for spouse

    Hello guys, Have a question, I tried to call the 800 number at the VA today but never got called back. I was recently awarded TDIU benefits, I am rated at 80%. I received a letter today stating that I was awarded TDIU benefits with the effective date of June 2017. It says that I am considered to be permanently and totally disabled. It also states that my dependents are eligible for Chapter 35 educational benefits. I thought you had to be 100% for dependents to be eligible for educational benefits? If so this is great, my wife is currently in nursing school and we already owe about 25k and she still has a year before she graduates. If anyone can clarify this it …

14. TDIU claim in Process - New Claim for SC combined with TDIU?

    I submitted for IU (50%+50%+10%+10%+10%=80%) a couple months ago. Going through the process, just finished C&P exams. Just after submitting the TDIU claim I submitted a new claim for service connection for Migraines. This claim was closed immediately by the VA and now the documents appear in the "IU" claim. Q1: Does this mean they are not going to process the Migraine claim? I did not have a C&P for migraines, just for those major contributors to the IU claim. Q2: IF (a big word) I do get IU, can I still submit/resubmit for migraines and one other diagnosis I just got that can b service connected very easily? I am shooting for IU beca…

15. Applied for UI and was denied

    I applied for 100% unemployability on my own after my VSO did nothing to help with the process back in February 2021. I received my decision this month stating that I was denied and was also reduced from 70% to 50% for PTSD and depression. They removed anxiety and alcohol use. When I was asked questions during my C&P they kept asking me what happened within the last year, not what happened since the date of injury, which was 2013. I'm not sure how to approach this issue any further. I want to appeal but I want my entire case looked at because I feel that I've been unjustly reviewed. What should I do for 100% UI?

16. Should I send this Vocational Assessment to VA or go straight to the BVA?

    I have attached my vocational assessment. I have attached my latest denial so you can see what is going on. Should I send this to the VA as a supplemental claim with new evidence to request an earlier effective date for my TDIU or just go straight to the BVA. Thanks 3-VA vocational assessment Redacted.pdf 2020-10-28 VA Decision Redacted for Hadit.pdf
