no they did'nt address the issue of tdiu. i am claiming tdiu based on my combined disabilities, my gaf is 45 an social worker said i'm unemployable because of ptsd. thanks

Terry and Hoppy thanks for your response. no the dro did'nt address tdiu they just incresed me from 30 to 50 percent ptsd, an i was 20% for bilateral ankles djd with the 30%ptsd an 20% ankles they said i did'nt meet the criteria for tdiu in my denial letter in april 06 service officer said i should put in a new claim for tdiu but i disagree because i would lose retro. thanks any help would be appreciated

I applied for tdiu in dec 2004 and was denied in feb 2006 because I did'nt meet the 70 percent criteria ask them to reconsider their decsion becase of letter I recevied from social worker stating that i am unemployable and was denied again in apr 06. In may 2006 was increased to 70 percent which now meets the criteria. question is should I appeal the decsion or just fill out another tdiu form? how long do it usually take for the tdiu process an what can i expect?
