ptsd What Benefits Come With Tdiu - P & T
Okay. So today I got the actual letter from the VA about my TDIU award. My combined rating is still 80%, but they'll be paying me at 100% with no examinations scheduled in the future. They also state that basic eligibility to Dependents' Educational Assistance has been established from my claim date back in 2009. (Could this mean they might retro and pay for my kid's last year of college?!) The decision letter goes on to say that I "may" be entitled to: CHAMPVA for my dependents a waiver of my VGLI premiums, if I already have a policy (I don't. Butt bruised about that one) Armed Forces Commissary & Exchange privileges Discharge of Federal Student Lo…

After 30 years out of Service, finally got 70% 3 years ago (they back dated 8 years only altho SS began in 1976). Now thru HADIT forums we found out about TDIU and now filed in May 2010.

Letter From Vso
I got a letter from my VSO yesterday saying that I should soon be receiving notification from the VA that my claim for IU has been granted, and is "permanent". Since the rating is permanent, I will be receiving information about other benefits. I called his office, because I couldn't believe it. His assistant assured me that they had sent the letter to the right Hedgey, and it was really my information, and that there really was a decision letter stating that it's permanent, and that I would be getting retro back to last year. He told me to call back on Monday to talk to the VSO about the other benefits. I'm in turmoil here. I'm excited and sick to my stomach at …

tdiu Ssa And Va On Td
I'm rated 80% SC and have been getting SCD dated from Feb. 08. In 07 I was turned down by the VA for TDIU because of something I was suppose to have said. Some where I was suppose to have told someone I was working. I sure don't remember saying anything like that to anybody, since I have not been working from 05 to present. Any how, SCD was awarded me with the primary reason of a non-service connected problem. Secondary was the listing of all my service connected injury's. My question is how am I suppose to work, VA says I can, when the SC say's I'm disabled and unable to work? If I work, I lose SC. I filed a nod last year and have not heard a world from the VA. …

ptsd Simple Question
Hello Once Again Everybody, I just have another simple question for you all. I am currently in a TDIU claim process. My ratings are currently 70% PTSD, 10% Neck, 10% Back, and 10% Tinnitus. This totals 80%. My question is, I have already been to all of the C&P's for my TDIU Claim, except for Migraines, which I am going to on the 16th of December. (This Thursday) I wanted to know if my C&P for my PTSD for my TDIU Claim (I know I'm saying a lot in one sentence there) could bring my PTSD claim up to 100%, instead of granting TDIU? In other words, instead of staying at 80% with TDIU if it is granted, if they would consider just raising my percentage to 100% for …
