Well I applied for VA compensation back in 2001 for a condition that SSDI was awarded back in 2003. In 2009, the VA finally decided on my case and back paid til 2001. In their initial decision, they awarded 100% from 2001 until 2004 and dropped it to 70% from 2004 until present day. The service connected condition was the sole reason I was getting SSDI from 2002 until present. So my question now is, should I be applying for TDIU back to when I first received SSDI benefits? Should I also apply for reinstatement of the 100% rating for the same reasons? My thinking is that the condition has been granted benefits from SSDI since 2002 and since the decision from the VA retroactively downgraded the percentage, the TDIU benefit should also be retroactively paid back to when SSDI was first awarded.
