On friday, I recieved letter from DAV and from VA putting me at 80% (woo hoo) I never expected it to go that high or get disapproved. I was approved on PTSD severe depression, high anxiety, based on unemployability. Section 2 said tdiu is deferred, I thought ok, this will give me a chance to decide to file it or not as I just started with Chapter 31 again this month. Chapter 31 knew this was being filed and said that either way they had to transition me into either retirement or back into the workforce. Back into the workforce think of something I want to do for a living. Retirement, choose something I want to do to stay busy in retirement.
The very next day I get a letter signed by the same person from the VA stating they are working on my claim for TDIU fill out this form and return it so they can rule on it.
Now I am afraid, maybe it is my anxiety maybe it is not. Why didnt they rule on this while ruling on my claim? What other evidence can I give them they don't already have? I worked for a month last year first time in years $8 an hour part time down from suit & tie 60k salary in 2003. Says right in my paperwork I dont like to leave my house. One of the things that worry me when I file this, is what if they re-open my claim and decide nah we gave him to much or he doesnt deserve anything for ptsd and strip me before I get back pay or first check even. I know that one of my counselors put in that I needed this but I also know one of my other ones thinks I should work and thinks much of my issue is in growing up not ptsd ( I think she is wrong)
What is it with this 80% or 100% if they do IU? Do I have to keep my schedules full with doctor appointments as I do now and live evolve around the va? Do they keep re-evauluating me? I know PTSD is uncurable but what if they consider it getting better and pull my check?

Hi,
On friday, I recieved letter from DAV and from VA putting me at 80% (woo hoo) I never expected it to go that high or get disapproved. I was approved on PTSD severe depression, high anxiety, based on unemployability. Section 2 said tdiu is deferred, I thought ok, this will give me a chance to decide to file it or not as I just started with Chapter 31 again this month. Chapter 31 knew this was being filed and said that either way they had to transition me into either retirement or back into the workforce. Back into the workforce think of something I want to do for a living. Retirement, choose something I want to do to stay busy in retirement.
