Welcome to Hadit and Thank you for your service.

Do you have service connection for your diabetes, high blood pressure, or heart disease?

What exactly are you service connected for and at what percentages? Is it just depression or is it other things as well?

I assume from your post you file the form for TDIU and they denied you, is that correct?

What reasoning did they give in your denial letter / decision?

Step back take a deep breath, we will do our best to help you.

Others will be along soon to offer more.

Welcome aboard. I'm just a new guy here myself. But the folks here have all waded through the morass of VA and know the answers. You just gotta ask the right questions. They'll help you with that too. Note Don's reply quoted here. Tell them those things and soon you'll have direction.

Again, welcome. :)

Welcome to Hadit, Timberwolf.

You stated:

can't get unemployabillity, or 100%

Are you 40% for any single one condition that might get you an extra scheduler appointment?

So, SSA lists you as being "disabled" due to your heart problems, HBP, HC, and Diabetes Melitus. If you retired in 1973, that suggests you were in service during the Vietnam Era, is that correct? You may be able to get the Diabetes service connected, if isn't already and get what you need to arrive at TDIU or 100%. But need more info from you.
