Tdiu

[travarious]

I been waiting since Sept for them to decide my Tdiu case. They keep saying they need some record from my national service record that they have requested. Only problem is they have requested it three times from them. How many time will they request before saying forget it and decide my claim. They already have all my service medical record on file hat I sent to them the first time I file. What is they specifically looking for.

We have no idea what they are looking for, we dont know what is in your service records.  However, to be service connected you need documentation of an "in service event" or aggravation, which is often provided by service records.

When VA requests your records, make no mistake, they are looking for an "excuse to deny".  

As an example, for many benefits you have to have the requiste period of service, such as war time service for pensions.  

They also want to check for things like bad discharges which may make you ineligible.  You see this a lot if you have multiple periods of service..maybe you served in the Army from 80-82, then the air force from 87-90.  The VA likes to deny if you have a bad discharge...even when you also have a good discharge.
