diabetes Do I Qualify For Tdiu?

[Ken1]

I just came across form 21-8940 / VETERAN'S APPLICATION FOR INCREASEDCOMPENSATION BASED ON UNEMPLOYABILITY

I last day to worked July 22, 2005. I went out on a medical leave of absent for Peripheral neuropathy and diabetes. In the process after 6 month of waiting I recieved mt medical records and made 22 claims on my 21-526 files Oct 2007 including peripheral neuropathy and diabetes.

My claim for the above was due to exposure to agent orange but not in country

On 10/08/2008 I file a 21-4138 with letter from the Social Security Administration granting disability for diabetes and peripheral neuropathy.Should I resubmit with form 21-8940?

What is you opinion ?

Thanks in advance

I asked for IU when I was rated 30%. If the evidence is there that you are IU because of a SC condition the VA will bump you up to 60-70% just to keep the myth going. I was bumped up to 70% and eventually granted IU. The only thing different about me was that when I was 30% I was employed, and when I got 70% I was unemployed and on SSD. My symptoms were actually worse when I first was rated 10% back in 1973. Then I was really bad off, but the VA just did their thing. I did not even know I could appeal. I got no appeal rights with my rating, and had no service officer that I know about at that time. Maybe some VSO came on the ward and put my name on an claim. I don't remember a thing.
