Question
10thFO
Heres the situation. Come Monday I should have the document in hand by my Psych, stating that not employable PTSD. So with that said. I was planning on filing for the TDIU the same day along with a list of my medications for my back problems and psych as an addition to the PTSD employability isssue.
I also need to reopen a claim that I was denied a couple years ago, but have found the medical evidence in my service records that must have been overlooked, connecting it to my service, and I have additional and new evidence in the form of a cervical MRI to support my claim.
I also need to file for an increase in my severity of my back issues, and now have the MRI's and Nerve Conduction studies, too get bilateral rating for radiculopothy in both legs, previously only rated for Sciaticai in one leg, and will have a IMO to go along with this when I file.
Here are my thougths, but don't want to screw this up. I was planning on filing the TDIU next week. Then go ahead and file an informal claim for an increase so I'll have a year to gather that evidence in it's entirety to cement my case for the other issues I have. Submitting an informal claim won't hold up the TDIU process will it?
