[mobie16r]

The veteran i am helping is 70% service connected for PTSD and he was medically retired in July of 2006 because of ptsd and filed for Unemployability in March of 2007. My Question is,if he is granted individual unemployability,what would be the effect date or his retro pay,July of 2006 when he was medically retire, of March of 2007 when he filed for IU ?

Thanks in advance mobie

IHMO, the date of the IU application! Others will chime in......

The date he filed for IU.

When was the veteran awarded 70% for PTSD? Did the VA consider TDIU at the same time the veteran was awarded 70% for PTSD? It really does make a difference.

He was awarded 70% September of 2005 and October 2005 he file a disagreement and ask for a increase because he was unable to work and it was denied, and March 2006 he file for IU and also a ptsd nod

The veteran filed a NOD and depending on the outcome the veteran can get an award of TDIU for 2006.
