    Tips on posting on the forums.

    1. Post a clear title like ‘Need help preparing PTSD claim’ or “VA med center won’t schedule my surgery instead of ‘I have a question.
       
    2. Knowledgeable people who don’t have time to read all posts may skip yours if your need isn’t clear in the title.
      I don’t read all posts every login and will gravitate towards those I have more info on.
       
    3. Use paragraphs instead of one massive, rambling introduction or story.
       
      Again – You want to make it easy for others to help. If your question is buried in a monster paragraph, there are fewer who will investigate to dig it out.
     
    Leading too:

    exclamation-point.pngPost straightforward questions and then post background information.
     
     
    Examples:
     
    • Question A. I was previously denied for apnea – Should I refile a claim?
      • Adding Background information in your post will help members understand what information you are looking for so they can assist you in finding it.
    Rephrase the question: I was diagnosed with apnea in service and received a CPAP machine, but the claim was denied in 2008. Should I refile?
     
    • Question B. I may have PTSD- how can I be sure?
      • See how the details below give us a better understanding of what you’re claiming.
    Rephrase the question: I was involved in a traumatic incident on base in 1974 and have had nightmares ever since, but I did not go to mental health while enlisted. How can I get help?
     
    This gives members a starting point to ask clarifying questions like “Can you post the Reasons for Denial of your claim?”

  • Can a 100 percent Disabled Veteran Work and Earn an Income?

    You’ve just been rated 100% disabled by the Veterans Affairs. After the excitement of finally having the rating you deserve wears off, you start asking questions. One of the first questions that you might ask is this: It’s a legitimate question – rare is the Veteran that finds themselves sitting on the couch eating bon-bons … Continue reading

That's a TDIU any way you cut it.

You can slice it, dice it, chop it, or just put it in the blender and puree' the heck out of it.

It's a "goodun". B)

Betty, I agree with John. The least you should get is IU. The VA may pass on the IU and award you 100 percent schedular.

The doc did a good job.

I just hate the fact that you had to endure this VA RO's game for as long as you did.

You are almost done as the exam is already on its way to the RO in huntington.

Expect an award in about 30 days or maybe less.

John

Schedular 100 percent is a 100 percent rating without the IU factor.

Also remember that if you have a single disability rated at 100 percent and another one or combination rated at an additional 60 percent, you qualify for an SMC S award.

You can look at the rate tables onthe VA website. But at the 100 percent rate you would receive $2669.00

for you and your husband. WIth the smc S arward, you would receive $2971.00.

If it is a Permanent and total, ( It should be) your husband would also be eligible for chapter 35 benefits and champ VA insurance. No More Co Pays.

Betty, On it's face, this C&P Exam appears to meet all the requirements for TDIU. All bases were covered. Hope you get your decision quickly! ~Wings

Thanks, John,

I really appreciate and will let everyone know when the decision

comes in.

The Rater will now, have this C&P, to go with the IME of Dr. Crowley.

I don't think you have met the criteria for a 100% evaluation, but you most definately have met the criteria for TDIU. The doc stated that your symptoms of severe anxiety would preclude your from any type of employment, that you are unable to even drive yourself to and from work, and that you would not be able to interact at a functional level with other people. There should be no question that you will be approved.

P.S. Don't feel alone in your symptoms. There are a great many of us here that are in the exact same boat. There are parts of your exam that read just like mine.

Betty, weighing your history and your inability to work for all these years as well as your gaf score of 40, which means you have a serious impairment in social function.

You will get your IU and they should make it P and T.

Personally, with that score and C@P IU should be a moot point for you should be 100 percent Permanent and total.
