Hello to all my fellow vets! I was curious about the process and the forms that are needed for tdiu. I was sent a request back in May, to fill out and return form 21-8940, which I did. It took 30 days for the review and then I recently got another request this month for form 21-4192. My last employer has filled it out it has been submitted as evidence. Va.gov website is counting down the days until its due. Its says 22 days until its due. I turned everything needed as of now, but I wanted to ask, does anyone know what happens after they receive the 21-4192 form? I wanted to add that when I did my C&P exam, the doctor was asking me a lot of questions about my employment and seemed concerned about my ability to sustain employment. She took a lot of notes and even counseled me a little. And to be clear this C&P exam was for an increase and secondary conditions(which I was approved for), then after my rating increased, the VA sent the TDIU request. I didn't even request it myself. VA sent the request. Thanks in advance for all your feedback........Semper Fi

What's up to all my fellow veterans! I want to thank everyone who gave their feedback on my C&P post. It was helpful and encouraging. I wanted to share some update info about my current claim as it stands right now. Before filing my current claim I was rated at 60%. After my C&P exam, about 2 weeks passed and my rating went up to 70%. At the same time I got a request from the VA, for form 21-8940 aka TDIU. My claim is still in the evidence gathering stage, but I've received my back pay for going up to 70%. I submitted 21-8940 form and the 21-4192 form, as requested by the VA. To give some insight, I've had about 9 jobs in 3 years and it is directly connected to my current disabilities. Just wondering if anyone has any feedback on what could be going with my claim now. Thanks in advance! Stay safe!

Hello my fellow veterans! I wanted to ask this and maybe get the opinions of sone my fellow veterans. Anyway I had a C&P Exam on May 2nd. I feel it went well. At the end of the exam the doctor said to me, "You should be 100%, and I'm sorry you have to live the way I do" she said also if she couldn't push for 100% she said 90% at the least. I know she isn't a rater or makes those decisions, but is it a good or bad sign that she even said that? By the way I'm already rated at 60% and filed a claim for an increase.
