Does date for 10 year mark for permanent SC status run from application decision/award date?
hello I first applied for SC status Mar 1, 2010. I was awarded 70% SC on Feb 18, 2011. Does my 10 years start running from date of application in 2010 or the date of the decision/award in 2011? thanks for any help

Do I have any legal recourse here?
Hey, I've been on LTD for about two years due to mental illness & chronic pain. I had done multiple surgeries to treat endometrial cancer, which has left me disabled from work. My psychiatrist had helped me out with the medical questionnaire since my physician was reluctant to doing so. But I received a letter from my insurer saying that they need my physician to fill out a questionnaire for them; if not, they would cut off my benefits. Later, I asked them to send the forms to my doctor; however, I didn't follow up on that. Now they have been withholding my claim for three months. Do I have any legal recourse here? I've thought of contacting an ltd lawyer, suggested…

I/U Claim
Submitted a claim for I/U had three C&P exams back in the beginning of September and now waiting (as usual). Each week the VA keeps requesting more forms from me via VA.GOV and ebenefits , 4192, 4142 and 4142a, medical records from providers dates and addresses. I submitted all these requesting documents when I submitted the FDC claim (over 100 pages) The VA has all the same documents . VSO even questioned the requests. Question I have is why request the information that I already submitted and filled out properly and they have copies??? Will they see after I submitted duplicated documents it's creating a cluster of papers??? I haven't called Peggy in awhile b…

I/U Claim
In 2012 the Department of Education granted my T&P Disability Claim. I notified the VA. In 2014 the VA sent me a letter to inform me that had attempted to receive a response from the SSA of my SSDI in August deliberately waiting until August when the SSA had reclassified me at 67 as retired. Fortunately I had a copy of the SSA/SSDI letter dated 2012. All of this was for my TDIU claim. I notified Congress and they confirmed that the VA had received a 2012 SSA of my SSDI status. Now 2019 came and has gone and the VA still is telling me that my TDIU claim is still pending even though the VA has granted only my 100% mental and not my 90% physical rating …

TDIU application mess
I received 70% SC decision after an appeal with IMO in Feb 2011, Portland Oregon. The case has not been reviewed since then. I passed the ten year mark in Feb 2021 making the SC determination permanent though the rating percentage could still be changed. Reason was aggravation of high functioning autism (there was psyche “counseling” and a potentially dangerous med prescribed on active duty on a remote desert air base when I was 18-19 yo). Was awarded SSD in July 2018 on first try with no appeal needed, reasons were high functioning autism (same as VA SC award reason) and “poor impulse control”, both conditions rated “Severe” by SS. I filed an intent to file for TDIU…

HLR call about case, will I be taken care of?
Got my HLR call Saturday. Yes, Saturday. Hard to believe that someone in the VA is working on Saturday. Good thing the phone displayed VA or I wouldn't have bothered to answer it. I submitted my HLR back on 2 June 2020. Her call was on 24 October 2020. 144 days. The VA will definitely not make their goal of 125 days to the decision on this one. I am not sure what she had looked at in my case, if anything. She wanted to know what I was disagreeing with. I explained to her about the CUE I had filed, all the trouble I had getting VA to accept it. I explained to her how the VA had requested C&P exams when all I was trying to do was get the VA to look into a CUE. I explain…

TDIU claim rejected
I'm currently service connected at 70% for PTSD with alcohol use disorder and situational specific phobia. I also have a 50% rating for cirrhosis with hepatitis and alcoholic gastritis. During my claim, I listed PTSD as the disability that makes me unemployable but I was under the impression that VA would consider the combined affects of all disabilities. Is this not the case? If anyone has advise on how I should proceed, that would be wonderful. Based on the symptoms listed in the my award letter, is it even worthwhile to appeal?

Should I go for TDIU
I am rated at 70%, 10% for each knee, 20% for right shoulder and 50% for Depression and alcohol abuse due to chronic pain. I also receive social security disability. Does anyone think I should try and get TDIU. VSO stated that I may get denied and even have my rating lower.

Can TDIU filing taken back by vet?
Asking if a TDIU filing can be rescinded by the vet before a ruling. No editorial comments please, just asking for a yes or no from someone who knows for sure.
