  1. I have a TBI rating of 10% amongst other things. I know that a while ago the military started granting Purple Hearts for a TBI injury. Has anyone been sucessful in getting the Purple Heart Award for TBI? I'm currious about the process. Thanks
  2. Does anyone know if you are granted TDIU are your dependents granted Champ VA?
  3. From the PTSD meds I'm taking. It's a side effect.
  4. Not necessarily. My rating is not permanent; it’s temporary. I am rated for ED 10% and get the SMCk of $100 per month.
  5. After a long three year battle with the VA, I have finally received my rating. My rating is as follows: PTSD: 100% Migrane Headches: 50% TBI: 10% ED: 10% 0% for two items and denial on about eight others. I was rated 100% over all, however the rating was based upon the information they had on file. They gave me a rating (beacuse it had been so long and I engaged my congressman) and said I could either agree with their assesment or I had a year to submit new and relative evidence for consideration (I plan on doing this). They also said in the award letter that they reserved the right to reasses my PTSD rating. Fast forward two months, and my ebenifits says that the VA is going to re-evaluate my PTSD in Aug of 2018. Even though I am rated at 100% it is currently conditional and not permanent. I haven't been able to work in over a year beacuse of my problems and when I did, it was trough to hold it together. I can no longer cope in a business/office environment. Here are my TDIU questions: -If I file for TDIU will it make my disabilitie(s) permanent in the eyes of the VA? -If I apply foir TDIU can you ever get off it? (Hypothetical question) -If you are on TDIU does the VA do periodic evaluations? -How long can you be on TDIU? Thank you
  6. I'm not sure and the paperwork doesn't state the reason other than PTSD/Mood....I guess I'll never know. They are giving me SMC for loss of use of an organ. The ED is rated at zero percent.
  7. Intresting. I am SC for ED which the VA considers to be secondary to my PTSD/mood. I guess my case is rare?
  8. I understand you need a medical opinion in order to link them. Just curious if there is a list or case law allowing/linking certain symptoms/medical problems secondary to PTSD?
  9. No reason to worry. The VA takes their time....
  10. Hi, I have done research on valid medical problems that are secondary to PTSD. Does anyone know for sure, or have a list of secondary conditions to PTSD that the VA has a history of granting SC on? I know of ED, but and curious if anyone else knows of others. Thanks.
  11. I had great luck with a claim over 3 years old. Within a month, I had my rating. I think it all depends on what area you live in and who your Congressman/woman is.
