ptsd Tdiu For Life?
I'm 63 and intended to work much longer in life (teenagers yet) but had to quit and file for TDIU due to my PTSD. What I wonder is what has been your experiences regarding how long in life one can be classified as TDIU? Is there a cut off as we age more and more? Or can it go on regardless of age? Thanks

hypertension Any Answers?
I recently was removed from federal service as a Police Officer due to my Service Connected disabilities. Sleep Apnea, Asthma, Hypertension,COPD and back condition. I am 70% service connected now. I was approved for my federal employees disability retirement. I applied for TDIU my doctor sent in a medical opinion for my TDIU. The VA sent me to a C&P exap for the TDIU. The only thing I mean the only thing the doctor did was take my blood pressure which averaged 148/96. He said he "never had such a quick exam and that was all that was asked for. I was out in 3 minutes. I dont know if this was good or bad? Scott

ptsd Iu Claim @ The "rating Board"
It's me again guys. My claim for IU has been sitting at the rating board ["Decision Phase" on eBenefits] for approx 4 weeks now. This is all out of the Waco VARO. Mind you, I was already granted 70% for PTSD effective Jan 2006. Since then my mental health has degraded to the point where I cannot work (and haven't for almost an entire year). What can I do to get the effective date retro to Jan of 2006 when I received my original award of PTSD 70%? Particularly, are any of you vets under the WACO VARO familiar with the reason that office sits on IU claims already at the rating board for so long? Is that indicative of something good or is that not necessarily a sign eith…

tdiu P/t Tdiu
I WAS RATED TEMP. 100% FOR PROSTATE CANCER. COMPLETED TREATMENT, AFTER A YEAR, I WAS ADJUSTED TO 60% FOR RESIDUALS. TOTAL COMBINED RATING OF 80%. FILED FOR TDIU AND APPROVED WITH P/T. MY QUESTION IS " AM I ELIGIBILE FOR SERVICE-DISABLED VETERAN INSURANCE BECAUSE OF THE TDIU" ? I HAVE NOT APPLIED FOR ANY LIFE INSURANCE IN THE PAST. ALL MY "NEW" CLAIMS ARE PAST THE 2 YEAR TIME LIMIT, EXCEPT FOR THIS TDIU RATING ON 22 NOV. 2010. ANY INFO WOULD BE APPRECIATED.

Just wondering if anyone could tell me if anything can be done if I go to the VARO personally to inquire about my claim. Is that a good idea or not?

ptsd Iu Claim In Decision Phase
Greetings once again, friends! On October 12, 2010, I submitted a claim for TDIU due to my PTSD w/major depression and anxiety disorder. I stopped working in approximately mid June of 2010. I was having weekly anxiety attacks (one sent me straight to the ER) and would want to physically harm any customer that called in and caused me any seemingly undue stress. Long story short I have been in and out of at least 8 jobs over the last 5 years since being discharged from the Army. Recently I took myself off divalproex which is supposed to control my anger issues because i thought i'd be able to do good without it, and SURPRISE things got even worse than before fast quick a…

This was entered into my file last week , Mr Sandman has been treated in the behavioral clinic since July 2009. He has the diagnosis of PTSD .

tdiu Ssd And Tdiu Does One Help Other
I was originally SC for 80%. I put in a claim for TDIU at that time and was denied. The one year time period has passed. I put a claim in for depression and got 50% which pushed me up to 90%. I was awarded SSD baised off of my SC disablities. they dated it back from my discharge the same time I got my 80% rating. Will it be to late to file for this?Will this help me with the TDIU chances? I filled out the TDIU paperwork and sent it in with the SSD award letter. I am pretty sure I asked this before but just wanted to see if anyone else had the same expirience. IVDS-40% Bladder-40% Tinnitus-10% Gerd-10% Cubital Tunnel-10% Sciatica-10% Major depression-50%
