I am currently rated at 90%. 50 for ptsd 50 for apnea a bunch of 10s and some zeros. i'll enter it all here if it matters. I'm still rounding up to 90. Anyway..since my ptsd decision of november 2012...I've had an interesting life. I did get a good job...first one outside of the military...since I retired. But I just got fired. I had a lot of conflict with my boss. I've also had a lot of conflict with my wife...this was going on before rating and was part of rating. There have been a couple more 911 calls and dept of social services got involved for a while. I was told to leave house for a while. I am back in house and still doing marriage counseling. Still lots of strain. When I look at my letter..it says next hightest level of 70 is not warranted unless there are issues in "most" areas. The only area I don't have issues in is school..and that is because I am not in school. No interest there. There are a couple of other smaller things I think I have some additional evidence for...that might get me another 10...or in one case may go from 10 to a 30...maybe. My biggest issue...change is ptsd and the impact on my life. So...what do I do. Is a tdiu application and a submission of new evidence different things?? Can you do both at same time?? I obviously have time to work on this now...and want to give this the best shot possible. Need some help and guidance.

mags 1023, Can you describe your carpal tunnel. I just had some kind of "shock test" where they verified that I meet the threshold for carpal tunnel. I have trouble typing and my right middle finger "spasms" a lot. No idea if it is all together. They have me wearing splints at night...and that helps me not get woken up due to hands and things falling asleep. What symptoms do you have for your carpal rating..I think I saw somewhere that you had it.
