ptsd TDIU Question

[Cruzcampo07]

Hello All...I have a question about filing for TDIU. I was awarded 70% PTSD last fall based on MST. I am a primary law enforcement officer who investigates sex crimes and am going to retire because I can no longer handle the stress and reminders of my incident on a day to day basis. 

Do you see that as I do; as reason to qualify for TDIU? I have taken so much sick and annual leave over the years from the anxiety I can no longer do this...There are many other reasons that are PTSD related that also come into play, but, that is just an over simplification of many of the issues I am suffering and struggling with...PLEASE HELP AND THANKS IN ADVANCE!

I am not trying to be insensitive about your situation but TDIU is for veterans that cannot work but you post that your are about to retire.  I am sorry for what you are going through, a disability retirement maybe better than just retiring.  Keep in mind that you can also apply and get SSDI.

It's an early retirement, and I wish I could make it to the finish line, but, I cant...and it's not something you bring up when you're a LEO or you get put on the rubber gun squad.
