tdiu Fibro Increase
could someone help me figure out why i was not given a fibro increase and tdiu? I was given 30% for depression and i have three statements from VA doc's that i was unemployable due to fibro. My original rating was 40% for fibro, hearing and knee problem. I thought for sure that would warrant a increase on my fibro since it has gotten much worse and with the statements. Thanks for any help! I did appeal the decision on the fibro already.

tdiu Fibro Increase
I have been 40% for fibro, hearing and left knee problem. I filed for increase last October 08 for fibro since it has gotten worse. The VA sent me an tdiu form to fill out also. I have three C&p's stating that i was unemployable due to the fibro. They also sent for depression exam and found me 30 %. I thought for sure with the statements from the Doc's that should bump me up to the max for fibro and qualify me for 100%. I have not worked sine last October and i had statements from my employer. I received my results the other day and i was awarded only 30 for depression and no increase for fibro. I was just wandering why i did not qualify?
