Question
nlualum82
I'll be making a few posts in categories to cover my bases.
I am 47 and SC'ed for 50% hearing loss. I work as a mail processor at the PO, 16 + years (8 years 8 months 2 weeks and 6 days 'til retirement).
Last year I finally got active in the process and got good advice here at Hadit.
After seeing a VA Psych and an SO, I filed for some other things we felt should be considered. WHAM! Been between 5 and 8 months since the claims went in and I got 2 letter in 2 days advising me of 4 C & P's this month!
15th - ENT for chronic otitis
19th - Audiology for tinnitus
26th - a 1215 Ortho for a jeep wrecked knee and a 1300 in Psych for them to determine between PTSD with MST, depression secondary to hearing loss, something else, nothing at all?)
I picked up my progress notes from the PsyD at the Vet Ctr. and made my appt. with my VA Psych at the VA clinic.
The Doc. and I talked, I told him about the C & P's and he said they might not want me to work anymore.
Sounds good to me - my PO is known to be hard on its employees.
I have to wonder if it's possible, though. I thought you wouldn't end up TDIU unless you were unemployed. I would think the post office would avoid letting a vet go based on his disability, even imagine that these gov't entities would collaborate to find some function at the PO rather than put me on a Federal paycheck for sitting home.
Any thoughts?
It is pure speculation at this point, but don't want to make a wrong step.
