<_< 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 the regs they must put the jan/2008 date on the claim if I am awarded. One thing I don't have, a doc statement saying I am not able to work because of my SC'ed disabilities.
