[Billyboy]

i started my case june of 03 and about a year ago i was awarded 100% tdiu.

is there a time limit the va can no longer screw with you?

I am 70% mdd, 10% tinnitus and 0 % loss of hearing.

It applies to all service connected vets. It's called "stabilization of ratings."

What about 70% - does the 5-year rule apply, etc.

And what if you move to another district, does it all change when the new district takes over??

[rentalguy1]

It applies from 0% to 100+%. Moving from state to state, or even out of the country has no impact on the veteran's dates.

I know that if the VA does reduce a 100% rating they should consider TDIU. In other words, a vet with 100% PTSD who gets a proposed reduction to 70% should then be considered for TDIU before a reduction in compensation.

ANSWER "It starts on the effective date listed in your award letter"

Question?

"On Sept 10, 2007 a decision was made" and goes on to say I have been awarded 100% TDIU.

Then the letter says " This entitlement is as of Aug 31, 2005"

What date does the va consider my effective date.?

thanks, bill
