tdiu Can Independant Living Program Assist With Tdiu
I have a claim in for TDIU, going on 18 months now. I was approved for SSD as well and sent them that paperwork about a year ago. I am a voc rehab student and my counselor told me he is sending me the premiliarly paperwork for inderpendant living program. I dont know what that entails, would that assist with getting TDIU? I also dont know what ILP is and I am looking into that. Thank you Pete

Question About Iu
OK my husband was found 60% service connected on his heart, which was increased from 30%. From what I read, a 60% single condition SC rating qualifies one for IU. Would we have had to have requested that? He was found 60% SC in August of 2011. We requested IU but it was a separate claim from the one where he was found 60%. We are wondering about his back pay. The VA won't tell us anything. Not trying to put the cart before the horse, but they admitted he was due back pay, and we have kind of struggled for a while. After re-reading my post, I'm not sure if it makes perfect sense LOL. If not, please let me know how I can make my question more clear. T…

tdiu Tdiu Roller Coaster
I applied for TDIU once I was granted SSD. After about the elevan month mark I recieved a letter stating that I would recieve a decision within 2-3 weeks. After waiting two months I called the 1-800 number and was told that it was kicked back, whatever that meant. I continued to watch E-Benefits and I have saw it go through the phases. Again it was in the waiting decision approval phase for about three months. I checked the other day and it went to gathering of evidence with a possible completion time of December next year. I once again callled and they said that it was kicked back again and they were waiting for my service records. This claim has been in for 18 months no…

Status Moved To "preparation For Decision" After 2 Years
Well, just about at the point where I was about to let go and fall into another one of my deep depressions and have another manic episode or so it would've seemed, I went online and signed onto ePeggy and, fully expecting to see the same thing I've seen for almost two years ("gathering evidence", a.k.a. "gathering dust") I saw something completely different: the status was "Preparation For Decision" and in my letter generator the letter available for me to print out and prove to people how much disability percentage and payment I receive monthly was not available online. This has peaked my curiosity quite a bit. Along with reading all of yall's posts about your similar …

Iu Claims Plus Sc Disability
I must not be overly bright. I am so confused about unemployment claims. If I get 100 % for IHD, can I also file additionally because I cannot work? I have been on Social security since 1992 on a non service connected illness.

tdiu Nod For Tdiu
Its been over 90 days since I sent in all the paperwork to request a personal hearing and guess what? All that they can tell me is that they have received my appeal and it is still sitting at the RO... Bunch of morons that deny a claim for TDIU because you can play a video game... "Oh, ummmm well. The doctor said you are far worse than the last C&P that got you 80%, but you play video games." "So denied!"

ptsd Has Anyone Ever Done A Fully Documented Claim?
I am currently rated at 50% PTSD and am waiting on a C&P for hearing & tinnitus in a week or so. I have a signed statement from my Psychiatrist AND my psychologist alluding to the fact that I am completely unable to continue ANY type of work. I found info on a FDC and am wondering if this should be my next claim? I have everything (including statement from my last job) that I can see that they would want. Has anyone ever done this? Would it be worth my while? Would my claim really get decided quicker? I have also filed for SSDI last week and was told we did a good job on our paperwork with them, so maybe that's a good sign too. Any info would be…

ptsd Tdiu Deferred
Hello to All, Today I received the award letter...70% rating and TDIU deferred. There is very little information in the letter as to what they need from me. I know that they need the TDIU form from info. gathered from here and other researching, but it was not included, nor mentioned. There are two sections where the IU is noted in the letter. Under "What We Decided," it states: "we have deferred a decision on the following issue because we need additional information or evidence: Individual unemployability" Under "REASONS FOR DECISION," there are two sections: "1. Service connection for Acquired psychiatric condition claimed as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTS…
