Question
winkjo
Just did C & Ps for hearing + tininitis, bilateral neuropathy(feet), DM-II upgrade from 20% to ??? My Freedom of Info looks good for hearing + tininitis (any idea what % that draws?), hypertension & assoc heart disease as 2ndary to DM-II, and--at long last--PN also associated with diabetes. Currently rated total of 20%.
Now for the YIKES !!! with bit of background first:
- Finally located heavy combat stressors and filed w/PTSD crap thru my SO.
- Also filed solid Pes Planus claim (pes planus noted on my join-up physical) via my SO
- A Soc Sec law judge found fully for me as of Jan 2003 for "severe PTSD, chronic Depressive
Disorder, etc" (Berta, in all her good wisdom, suggested 4 months past that I file for TDIU, but I waited until I could locate and file solid stressors until now).
HERE'S THAT YIIIIIIKES!..when my SO and I filed the above hi-lited stuff, I wanted to also file for TDIU. BUT... my SO firmly advised that he SHOULD NOT file the TDIU along with the above because--if they deny it--I would likely have a hard time getting TDIU down the long road. I'm freaking over his attitude on this one, because I feel--especially at age 63-- that I am a strong candidate for TDIU...maybe even P & T !
Sure would like some discussion on this one, Veteran brothers & sisters --
