I finally figured out that I could use the FDC to request a increase. Just received my letter today and only changes were: Chronic lumbosacral strain increased from 0% to 10% Adjustment disorder with mixed emotional features was changed to PTSD; award stayed at 30% GAF score: 60 Everything else remains the same as before, awards and work status. (December 29th 2011 last day worked) I have not been to any doctor other than the VA since 2009 and it was just a check up so I don't have any IMO to help with SSDI or TDIU. Is that what I should look into?

Man I'm so happy to find this website!! Haven't closed the computer for days. I'm in the process of filing out a FDC and this is what it shows I'm currently award: tinnitus 10% SC tendonitis, left wrist (residual of GSW) 10% SC headaches 30% SC adjustment disorder with mixed emotional features 30% SC multiple myelomas 30% SC Effective date for all is 03JUN2009. I guess I file a claim for each individual one I want considered for increase evaluation? For unemployability, that is a seperate ordeal altogether correct? Thanks again, everyone here awesome.

Thanks for the information everyone. I got my award in the fall of 2010 maybe...the years kinda run together lol. I'm hoping FDC will work for me as I live 87 miles from the office, and the one time I went to inquire about a increase in 2012, it wasn't a welcoming situation.

Thank you for the welcome

All this stuff confuses the heck out of me. I have a combined rating of 70%, my highest individual one being anxiety at 30%. I received this rating in fall 2009 and have been talking to MHC on a weekly then monthly basis; and trying different meds ever since. I held one job for 7 months since my ETS in 2009. After that I've had one job interview, the employer kept making remarks about how I acted and asked if I was ok. Since then I find every excuse in the world to not leave my house. I was considering filing for Increased Compensation Based on Unemployability, but unless I'm mistaken I have to have at least one disability rated at 40% correct? In short, do I need to raise my rating first? Thank you for any information.
