HadIt.com Elder john999 Posted February 26, 2009 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted February 26, 2009 Remember you can get 100% for mood disorder just as easy as PTSD. You already have 70% for mood disorder. Do you get TDIU? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grent Posted February 26, 2009 Author Share Posted February 26, 2009 okay so then i would tell the va either give me 100% for mood or ptsd and can i use that 100% as the 100% for smc or do i have to use another injury outsode of the 100% i already have?

HadIt.com Elder rentalguy1 Posted February 26, 2009 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted February 26, 2009 They could do one or the other, or both (comorbid) at 100%. For SMC, you need to separate 100% ratings, or one 100% rating and a separate 50% (+) 90%, TDIU P&T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grent Posted February 26, 2009 Author Share Posted February 26, 2009 You can't be rated for two seperate MH issues at one time. was on tdiu then got a new rating that said the following: "your overall or combined rating is 100%." so i guess tdiu is gone and now i am scheduler 100% P and T theirs a bunch of left over new service connections so i guess that will or those issues will be applied to the pending smc r2 claim PTSD was deferred and mood is still at 70% some body said something comrbined dont know what that means in relation to ptsd deferred and mood at 70% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
