  1. I was approved for SSD based on my service connected issues. Applied for TDIU, still waiting. I would recommend you try to continue looking for things to help you with your symptoms. I wish you the best but I feel you will face a hard time being awarded SSD with 40 percent. Please continue to seek advise and take care of yourself..

  2. Deacon,

    I had a similiar thing happen to me as well. It showed that I had two different claims when it was only one, it took a while to show just one. I feel this E-benefit link online is a curse at times. While it provides us information we would like to know it is twenty days or so behind. I wish you the best and we must try to be patient. Im sorry I cannot provide a better answer for you. I can only hope that the final outcome is positive. One positive thing is if you get awarded the TDIU they will be back paying you.. Best of luck!!

  3. Hello all from Eastern Oregon,

    It is always a hard transition into the winter months and the shorter days. I get on this site everyday to see and hear how other vets are doing. It is always good to hear the success stories. I have been rewarded SSD soley on my service connection disabilitys and have had my TDIU claim in since april. It has been in the decision phase for the last 3 months. I have read on here that SSD is a positive factor when attempting for TDIU. Has anyone been turned down TDIU while being awarded SSD based off of service connection alone? Im at 90 percent now so we will see. Anyway I wish you all the best and happy thanksgiving!

  4. Berta,

    Thank you for the response. Yes I was awarded SSD soley on my VA service connected disabilities. I was just a bit confused when my claim went back to development and that was the last thing stated on the information tab. The SSD award went back to my discharge date, 09. I did not put a claim in for TDIU unitl I was awarded SSD, April 2011. So the claim has been in for seven months now. It went to decision three months ago and sat there until now. So now it looks like it got pushed back to development. Not to worried about that, I feel lucky at the speed at which it is happening just a little confused about the last comment.

    Thanks again.

    Pete

  5. VOR:Writeout 631A Future Physical Examination This was written on the E-benefits site. My TDIU claim was under decision for two months then sent back to development. I was awarded SSD and sent them the paperwork when I filed for TDIU. I am just a little confused what this means. I have had my claim in since april. Does this VOR thing mean I am going to have another C and P exam?

  6. Hello everyone,

    I have found a fellow vet to help. His scenerio is this, he was in the Army National Guard and was injured durring training. His injuries are documented in his medical paperwork. He has never been deployed and he has never been on active duty. He required sugery on his knee and shoulder. His condition is begining to worsen. He is seeing a private doctor that tells him he needs additional surgery. He has been told that he does not qualify for VA benefits since he was not on active duty or deployed. I believe he is recieving false info but I wanted to be sure. He has been denied to be seen at our local VA outpatient clinic for his injuries. So basically I just wondered if he could claim his injuries as thay are permanate. As of right know I am helping him write up his statement to get him in the system.

  7. 381. I know you have to have atleast 20% disability rating to qualify for Voc Rehab. The process takes a bit, it took me about six months after my rating to actually get Voc Rehab. I was approved and it was worth the wait so I advise you to hang in there. If you do not get Voc Rehab due to your disablitities I understand it could assist in TDIU. I am sure the others with more expirience will assist you here with better info. Hang in there and keep asking the questions.:biggrin: I am pretty sure it has no effect on SSD, I recieve that as well and had no problems getting it.

  8. Stay with it. I was awarded SSD at age 35. They based their findings based off of my military records. I am now waiting to see how my TDIU request will be decided. It is in the decision phase now after five months so I feel lucky as far as the speed in which it is moving.
