Hello all I am fairly new to this forum however I get the majority of my insight here
Currently I'm rated at 90% overall , out of that my depression is currently rated at 50% , about 6 or 7 more disabilities each rated at between 10-30% as well ranging from back ,feet and hip problems and recently I have submitted my claim for tdiu back in October 2018 and this past Feb 2019 I had my c&p exam and I was wanting to seek feedback based on what my examiner wrote in the notes in the results I've copied and pasted the portion that stuck out to me most
Do I have a good chance at tdiu? Its a very scary process

:here are some of key things that stuck out from my examiners notes-
At the time of the last exam she was experiencing a high level of work
stress. This continued until her discharge in 9/19. She enrolled in
College but only went to a day of school. She
recalls, "it was pretty stressful, the wear and tear. Some of the
classes were upstairs. Mentally I couldn't focus. I was excited, but
when I went I felt overwhelm[ed], 'I can't do this.'"
She has looked for work she could do at home but was unable to find
anything. Has not had paid work since her d/c from military service.
The veteran's depression is quite severe and would impact her
performance in any job. She would be vulnerable to regular absenteeism
and low productivity in any job. She would avoid social interaction and
would particularly struggle to perform in jobs that involved extensive
social interaction (e.g., team based jobs, customer facing jobs). She
would likely struggle to tolerate the routine stress of most jobs or get
through a work week without displaying obvious signs of depression and
anxiety
