tdiu Compensation Award Letter

[Josephine]

Ts and others,

You have ask to read a copy of the letter from the R.O as to why I received

10%

50%

70%

How do I get Unemployability?

Thanks,

Betty

Thanks John,

I am going to get the letter from DR. Crowley and wait about three months and then sent in the TDIU Form and see where this takes me.

Secure the TDIU and then file for the EED.

Thanks,

Betty

Morning Betty,

you wrote: "I received the Non- service connected Pension with unemployable back to 1983, now they wish to weasel out of it."

after reading the RO decision...I don't think that the VA is trying to weasel out of awarding you UI, even though the VA awarded you the VA pension back in 83' the pension was not based soley on your now s/c disablity...and the VA will not take condition's that are not s/c into consideration. As I wrote in another one of your threads...the paper work for UI that was submitted back in 83' is a moot point because even it you now s/c disablity was connected back then you would have had to have at least your s/c disability rated at 60% unless it went to the special schedualer...with that said...

I may be mistaken but I think I read that the VA sent you the form to fill out to apply for UI...so I would think once you fill out that form and send it in the VA will make your UI retro back to when they awarded you 70%...at this point you are going the right path...getting your ducks in a row...

you wrote: "I am going to get the letter from DR. Crowley and wait about three months and then sent in the TDIU Form and see where this takes me."

Yes..getting your dr. to write up a letter to how your s/c disablitly has limited your ability to work in all areas will seal the deal...but why would you wait 3 months? the sooner you send in the UI form the better...

but anyways...things will work out

I actually thought they had awarded you 100% per a past post-

Here is the TDIU form-

forget-Jose[hine -do you get SSDI for anxiety?

That is what question 18 means.

Question # 25 Remarks- you can refer them to additioal page and list how your meds affect you with side affects and thell them anything else that shows you cannot work due to your service connected disability.

I am surprised they did not send the fornm to you or ask for more information as to your unemployability.

Did your IMO doctor state anything like that as to how the anxiety causes you to be unemployed?

I agree with you. The VA should have discussed Betty's employment situation and either said that she was not IU due to her SC condition or they should have sent her the form. Her IU should go back to the date she got 70% as a start. I would file the TDIU form immediately.
