Question

I work for the VA a a Police Officer. I have COPD ASTHA and SLEEP APNEA which are soon to be service connected. Waiting on award but VA comp doc stated in exam papers they were all incurred during service. The VA employee Doc seen the diagnosis and may have to fail me for the physical requirements. Will I have a valid claim for TDIU. I should come back rated at 80%. But I wont have a job for long due to these service connected diagnosis?

Scottc,

Welcome to Hadit and thanks for your service.

I can not answer this but I'm sure others Hadit members will chime in and provide you some great advice.

Good luck with your claim. :rolleyes:

If you get 80% and have to retire on disability then you will have a good TDIU claim. If you are a federal employee you can take disability retirement. This is good evidence for TDIU. The day you retire apply for SSD.

Welcome to Hadit and I think that you have a good claim. In Ft Worth they just fired a 5 year policeman for falling asleep on duty.

hit alpha,

You posted,

"person A gets iu cannot go back to work until vested with va at 20 year mark."

There is no protection rule for IU.

If someone on IU gets caught working they will have many, many problems.
