@Mr cue I just wanted to give an update that I took some of your advice. The VA just awarded me 100% TBI.

@Mr cue This is what it says verbatim: Request 1 Needed from you - due in a month You may be entitled to compensation at the 100 percent rate if you are unable to secure and follow a substantially gainful occupation because of your service-connected disabilities. If you believe you qualify, complete, sign, and return the enclosed VA Form 21-8940, Veterans Application for Increased Compensation Based on Unemployability

@pacmanx1 Okay, that makes sense. The TDIU only pertains to my new claim of TBI and SMC-T and is not related to my 100 PTSD, it might be okay to just fill out the form and list only the TBI as the disability which caused the unemployment ?
-
@Mr cue The reason why I think they want me to complete a TDIU form is because in my personal statement, I said I became unemployed due to the residuals of my TBI and I am currently unable to return back to work. So I think it automatically triggered the TDIU application for my claim.

@Rattler767I did not file any VA Form 21-8940. Read my original post.

@Rattler767 I have been P&T since 2019. They requested I fill out VA Form 21-8940. @jamescripps2 I did not file for TDIU. I filed for residuals of TBI and SMC-T. @Mr cue Sounds reasonable.

I am 100% P&T for PTSD and I just currently filled a new claim for residuals of TBI for SMC-T. I worked under 100% P&T; however, I stopped working due to dealing with the residuals of my TBI. VA just updated my claim for me to complete a TDIU form. Will this jeopardize my P&T status already for PTSD?
