tdiu Deferred Compensation

[TNVietnamvet]

My VA Disabilty was just increased from 60% to 80% with Parkinson's Disease deferred, Depression deferred, and Individual Unemployability deferred. I was drawing 30% for Depression, why is it now deferred. I assume Parkinson's Disease has been deferred because of the Senator in VA.

No. Your Parkison's Disease being deferred has nothing to do with the Seantor in Virginia. The new presumptives have to complete all of the administrative requirements before becoming law. The proposed presumptives are now at the OMB (Office of Management And Budget) for a final review. Upon final release from the OMB, the presumptives must undergo a mandatory 60 day review period by Congress.This is a requirement of administrative law. It has nothing to do with the Senator from Virginia or even his admendment to delay. If Congress does not decide to change anything or reject the findings, the presumptives then become law at the end of the 60 day review period. The Senator from Virginia, at this point, cannot stop it.

Expected implementation could be anywhere from mid fall to the end of the year. There is a slim possibility that it could be even earlier. Once the new presumptives become law, then those with one of the new presumptives will be moved from deferred status to actual rating, compensation, etc.

In the past, Congress has never rejected a VA presumptive. Don't expect it to happen here either, despite what the Senator from Virginia may or may not want to do.
