Yes Sharon, thats exactly what I'm about to do! Enough is enough!

Thanks for the replys. Cooter, that's a negative I've spoken to people in the office and they say the counselor has just been sitting in his office ignoring all phone calls. I haven't even been paid my stipend from a previous semester when that counselor quit in the middle of my semester without even informing me!!!!! LEFT ME HANGING!!!!!! NOW I"M LEFT HANGING AGAIN!!! I HATE THESE PEOPLE THEY DONT CARE ABOUT ANYONE! They shouldn't have approved enrollment in classes if they were going to do this to me!

My classes online have begun but I still need materials ordered and I have not gotten any communication with my VRC. I simply can't get a hold of him to order my books and he already knows that my classes have started but has made no effort to get the books needed or responded to my emails and calls. I feel like I'am being set up for failure, I haven't even received my stipend from last semester when I was under a different counselor. Is this really how this program operates? What the hell is going on? My classes have started and I still have no books

So applying for TDIU would be fine even with 60% combined? Wouldn't I have to raise my combined SC to 70% as well or would 60% combined on SSDI would be just fine? I need help looking for a good VSO, would going through one in a different state be an issue?

60% SC'd/combat vet(50% PTSD, 10%Back) Was on Voc rehab for awhile but my VRCs were dropping like flies which interfered with taking classes(online) continuously. Long story short I was approved for SSDI while on hiatus from Voc rehab(VRCs dropping out and PTSD issues); now a new VRC has recently re approved me to begin the program again I am giving it one more shot, but I am being very cautious because my anxiety is extremely bad, surprised I was allowed to get back on Voc rehab. Questions: *Will SSDI and Vocrehab(online classes) jeopardized each other? Will I lose one or the other? I have yet to send in my SSDI award letter to VARO but will soon do so, will Voc rehab be taken away once my SSDI letter has been received? I think I can be on both SSD and Voc rehab (about 2yrs before I can get my degree). *In the case I cannot compete Voc rehab in the future, will I be able to apply for TDUI/IU? Should I just apply for TDIU now anyway and is the SSDI award letter enough to apply for TDIU? Note: I am not currently taking classes just back on the program* *I need a new VSO and service rep if I can apply for TDIU, do I have the option of working with one in a different state? Any recommendations?

Just verified that SSD is based on SC'd

Hi Berta, As far as I know SSD is solely based on my SC'd conditions, I will have to verify later today again to be 100% sure. From what I take, inability to complete Vocrehab along with my SSD award is ample enough to apply for TDIU? Would I have to increase my SC since I get 50% PTSD and 10% back? I'll also be turning in my SSD award letter this week to the VARO. Currently I do not live near a Vet Center, but I have been part of groups before and it does feel good to know I am not alone. I still can't help isolating myself in other areas due to anxiety. I'll be educating myself more through this site, updating as well. Thanks Berta!

Hey guys new to this site and I been learning more and more from it everyday. I' am a 60% SC combat vet from OIF3, 50% for PTSD and 10% for my back...I been on Vocrehab for awhile now only taking classes online due to my anxiety and panic attacks (I can't sit in class due to my anxiety, social settings in general). Recently my Vocrehab counselor quit the job and left me high and dry without informing me and now I have to deal with someone new. My anxiety has gotten so bad to the point where I don't know whether I can even continue taking classes online anymore (I cant even stand to think of having to go through the whole process over again with a new Vocrehab counselor), am afraid I may not be able to continue with the program at all which leaves me more depressed. The only reason I opted for Vocrehab was because I thought I could beat my anxiety and panic attacks, because of all of this I am feeling more depressed than ever. I am only 29 and seeing relatives and high school friends younger than me succeed leaves me feeling worthless. I gave Vocrehab a shot and I feel like I can no longer continue, do I have any other options? I' am tired of "fighting" to get back on my feet since 2006, I was recently awarded SSDI but even with SSDI and 60% SC...do I continue and keep trying with Vocrehab? I don't even think this counselor will even keep me in Vocrehab, suggestions will really help a lot, I'm grateful theres a community accessible to young vets like me. I been "fighting" my PTSD since 2006 I haven't been able to hold a job since then now not even go to school.
