tdiu Tdiu Award, Waiting For Letter

[MartyL16]

Just found out will be paid at 100% TDIU. Also told I got 50% for depression. Had neither one before last week but had submitted the form and evidence back in June 2013 for both.

Actually, this decision came as a surprise.

Letter not received but got about 1/2 total lump sum retro pay on Saturday.

Brings my "scheduler" to 70%. If I am using the wrong terms it is because that is the exact explanation given to me.

I was then told by 2 different VSOs that this 100% TDIU is not the same as 100% P & T, and the other said it is a 100% P&T even though the VA database says 100% TDIU.

Can someone clear the fog for me.

Also, I still have other items on the appeal that are awaiting C&P rescheduling.

Two of these items will easily get 60% each, with one maybe to 100% by itself.

Another thing "they" cautioned me about was filing any "NEW" CLAIMS as the VA then tries to lower existing ratings. Any truth to that?

Thank you in advance.

State benefits????

I guess I need to call the ADOT and see if they will give back the "big bucks" I gave them last month for my registration.

As for anything else, I do not know where to look, or whom to ask. Ah, another mission for next week.

Thanks for bringing that up.

Thanks for that advice. The AL is telling me to consider not entering new claims.

I guess they are representing themselves, rather that me.

I don't think they will, but perhaps if your effective date is prior to

the date of your payment they might be able to.

My 100% P&T went back to 2004 - but Florida sure would not refund

my property taxes I paid back to 2004 : -(
