Retiree Pay Or Va Payy Before Crdp
How did the VA compensate retirees 100% IU before CRDP? I always thought the vet would get one or the other pay, not both. And if the VA was more, the Vet gave up retiree pay. Sawdust for brains here, CG

ptsd Received Decision Letter Today
I posted a few weeks ago (see below along with my c&p results). I was denied IU and increased to 70% which I accept. I am not sure how all this works but I applied for Voc Rehab today. There was a page in my packet that didn't belong to me. I served during the Gulf War Era (as they stated) and there is a page about a Vietnam Vet and what he has been dealing with. It was extremely traumatic to read and I cant get the thoughts out of my mind the way it was described. I wish I didn't read it. And I can't even IMAGINE how he feels. I keep thinking about him and what he went through. Does this happen often where someone with PTSD receives information about another…

ptsd Filing For Unemployability
I have been retired since 2005 and just recently received an increase in my service connected disability (80%-50%PTSD & 50% hearing loss). I can now file for unemployability; however the form requires information on previous earnings. Does the highest amount earned in last five years when I was working impact the outcome of my application?? When I was working my highest annual income was approximately 75k. Will this impact negatively on my application for unemployability??

Form 21-8940
<_< I went to my VSO (VFW) today and filed a 21-8940 for IU. On line 6 my rep put down my 5 disabilities which are: MDD-70%, ruptured L gradricep-30%; DDD of the spine-20%; DJD L hip-10%; DJD L knee-10%. On line 24 we put "vet is no longer able to obtain or maintain gainful employment due to the severity of his combined physical and mental service connected disabilities." We talked about the effective date being the date I filed the claim on jan/2008. But he failed to put it on line 24, saying " the VA will automatically use this date if they award me IU, if not we'll appeal it then." I am thinking about filling out form 21-4138 and requesting them that according to…

tdiu Thoughts About What This Means For Tdiu
I received my updated rating today and was rated at 80%. I had also applied for unemployability at the same time and was denied because the VA said I never returned a form, which I never received. Should I appeal and send this form with the appeal. Below is what they sent me. I am I reading this correctly? The claim for entitlements to individual unemployability is denied. We based our decision upon reveiw of available evidence. In our letters dated June 12,2009, we explained what evidence would be requiredto grant entitlement to this benefit. We asked you to complete a VA form 21-8940. As of this date,we have not received the required form from you. I have been out …

Appealing Decision Based
Received Decision Letter Today, page inserted that doesnt belong to me and freaked me out I posted the above a few days ago. I just talked to my Field Rep and he is going to meet with me next Tuesday. I read to him about the conflicting data in my C&P vs my decision letter which states that the Examiner opined THERE IS NOT a total and occupational impairment due to my disorder. However, the C&P clearly states a YES after the question: Is there a total occupational and social impairment due to mental disorder signs and symptoms - YES. Has anyone else had conflicting data? If so, how did it turn out? Any opinions? I also informed my Rep (what do you ca…
