ptsd Tdiu Deferred For Receiving Ssdi
I was awarded 70% SC yesterday (one battle finally won), and the award letter states: We deferred entitlement to the 100% rate (IU) because you are receiving Social Security Disability benefitis (sic) and we need your records from the social security administration. We will obtain these records for you. That's all it says about it. I never filled out the form for IU, and this was on there anyway. Do I need to fill the form out? Does anyone know what records they are getting from the SSA, and how they will affect IU? I was granted 70% for Shizoaffective disorder claimed as PTSD. Does this just mean that I claimed for PTSD, and they found something else? …

Previous Employer Huh?
My DVA told me that when I fill out the IU paperwork that I need to put my previous employers on there and that it goes back 5 years. Well my previous employer is the Army for 15 years. I tell him this and he says that there needs to be at least 1 more employer so when I was 19? Does this sound right? I don't want to hang anything up and put my job 15 years ago before the army and the VA sitting around waiting for something that never comes back or maybe they think I'm lying when they tell them they never heard of me before.

Unexpected Twist But Good Outcome
I applied for TDUI back in May of this year and yesterday my claim was completed. They granted me 100% P&T and I must admit I didn't see this one coming. Keep fighting the fight and never give up because we never know what might happen. I wish everyone luck with their current situation.

Is There A Such Thing As 100% Schedular And Iu?
I ran into an older couple the other day and they were both 100% VA SC. His wife asked me if I was IU 100% VA SC, and she claimed it was more money. Is there a such thing as getting approved for IU, even though I am already 100 VA SC. Thanks and hope you guys and gals had a good Thanksgiving.

Question?
I was just told by my Regional Office in Buffalo that my claim for IU is in the pending decision process. It has been there since the beginning of September. Anyone have an idea or educated guess how much longer it will be? I would greatly appreciate it. Bill

ptsd 70% Tdiu Without P&t Confusion
I was awarded IU for 70% PTSD. My award letter doesn't mention anything about P&T and eBenefits says I'm scheduled for an exam in 2019. How does somebody get P&T with CHAMPVA benefits? I submitted my private doctor's medical statement that says I'm permanently disabled in his opinion. I guess VA ignored that part. Do I file a NOD? Those appeals take forever.

ptsd Tdiu For 10 Years, Apply For P&t?
Hello everyone, hope it's a good morning whereever you maybe. Low Down, I was awarded TDIU back in '09 dating back to Oct, '04. I have been through another in patient for PTSD since then, and was awarded SSDI as well for my PTSD. I recently moved to upstate NY from Virginia, and want to go ahead and apply for P&T. One, what do I need to do to do that, just file a SSOC, since my claim has been closed for 5 years now. Two, should I submit my form to the nearest RO in NY, or should I go ahead and just submit it to the RO that did my original claim, Roanoke VA, VARO. Any advice would help, as I'm feeling a little overwhelmed by this again. Went through …

tdiu Ssdi & Tdiu
Does SSDI help IU claim when it was awarded solely on VA medical Records? 70% major depressive disorder plus others =90% total s/c. Applied for IU as soon as I got SSDI approval letter. It only took ssa 2.5 months to approve.
