tdiu Retire At 62?

[gp747]

if i retire at 62 will it affect me filing claims for disabilities at dept vet affairs?

and or will they take the fact that i am retired i wasnt going to work any more

anyway and judge me by that?

i am on s.s.i now and 30% (sc) but s.s.i. has gone down to just $100 month

with wife working.

can i file for tdiu while being retired? and or iu ,p&t while being retired?

how will retiring affect any and all claims if at all?

Are your VA S/C conditions the same as the SS conditions?

at varo

Get the IU. That is a lot more than 500 dollars a month. Your SSI issues are the same as you SC issues. If the VA knows you are on SSI they should have considered you for IU as soon as you were rated. Your rating of 30% does not make sense in light of fact you are on SSI for mental issues. The VA has cheated you out of tons of money over the years. Let your lawyer work on this for you. If he can't do a CUE then he can get IU for you with your evidence and history.

I am not sure this is the right place for this post but i need some help.I retired from civil service on March 6 2006 due to the fact I couldn't do the job I was expected to do. I haven't worked a day since retirement. I am 80% sc for IDDMll. I han an eye examinationon Dec. 2, 2006 by a regular eye Dr. and a another eye exam on Dec. 18, 2006 ba a optomolgist. The optomolgist said there wasn,t anything that could be done for my left eye as there was to much damage from a vein oculsion which occured in Feb, 2006. I had aother eye exam on Jan. 6, 2009 by my private eye Dr. and he declared me legally blind in the left eye. This problem has severely limited my driving in heavy traffic as my vision dosen't work like it use to. My driving is limited to about 2 miles a day, to and from the mail box and at certain times of the day when traffic is low. Night driving is out completely. I am considering applying for TDIU due to all my medical problems and the fact that I have become dependent on my wife to drive me to Dr. appointments and other necessary places. This is what I can get in support of claim. A statment from the office Office of Personnel (OPM) as to the number of days i missed from work. A statement from my former supervisor as to the days missed from work and the effect it had on the other employees in the work group. A statement from my eye Dr. as to the condition of my limited vision and the ability to be independent while driving in heavy rush hour traffic which I don't do. My question is: do I have chance of winning and or do I need some information to support this claim. They will also have the exams, fron the VA. I am sorry this is long but if it has no chance of winning I don't want to take time from another veteran who maybe worse off than I am. Thanks for your help.
