tdiu Very Important Legislation

[sixthscents]

Look this is a LARGE bill but there's a BUNCH of very important changes being made to disability determination, PAST Physical Evaluation Board Decisions (backdated to Sept 11, 2001), Concurrent Receipt for TDIU vets rated at 100% schedular or TDIU backdated to Dec 2004... it goes on and on.

I think all vets should read this bill that WILL be signed into law very soon. It's just waiting for the Presidents signature and he's already said he will sign it.

Scan the ENTIRE bill, and look for ANYTHING that says veteran. Further look thru the amendments, and look at the stuff there. Seriously this is some really good news for some recently discharged vets - back to 2001, and veterans getting out now.

There was even a section on the social security quarters of veterans...

Honestly it's simply too much to summarize but I have watched this bill all year and it's finally going thru. I suggest that all veterans should read it as it applies.... The changes are drastic, and will be very very important to many newer veterans - as well as older ones (like the concurrent receipt - I think thats actually an amendment but it was approved)

It's important to read the amendment to bills since often they contain as much or more significant information. Again, I cannot stress enough that I think all veterans should READ this bill. If you have any questions ask.. hopefully I'll be on to answer them.

Also, read the entire sections that apply, the summary doesnt explain enough...

Ricky,

With all this medical stuff going haywire - well I'm doing my best. It's not much but I'm trying. Hopefully they will figure out what new part of me they want to fillet and well see if some of this gets fixed.

Until then man I am really trying my best.
