i was medically discharged for an ankle injury after i had a reconstruction surgery andit didnt work..i use a cane to LIVE and get around and have horrible back issues..i have spoke to a vso and he recommened waiting til after i get rated for my ptsd before i try for tdui.. I was not happy with the ratings i was giving for my disabilities but figured thats what i was stuck with...
The 2 major are:
left ankle sprain and tendinitis with status post surgical reconstruction and avulsion of the left great toe extensor...now i dont know what all this means but my ankle has me not able to stand/walk on my own and even with a cane and breaks thruout the day i cannot live a normal 25 year olds life and i was giving 10%...(this was the reason for discharge)
Second is my back..i have 2 different ratings on my back, one is cervical spine strain 20% and lumbosacral strain with anterior wedging of t11 and t12 vertebral bodies 10%..
On top of this i have right shoulder strain teninosis of the supraspinatus and bicep tendons and superior labral tear 20% which just happens to kill me everyday because its the arm i use my cane with. I feel helpless in tue situation until coming here, i thought i was stuck with what i got and that was it.
Ive been collecting unemployment because i didnt know i could collect ssdi. Between my injuries and sleep apnea/ptsd i just cannot hold a job/do anything ive been trained/ know how to do and so thats what led me here when i was searching for information on tdiu. Thank u guys for the help and suggestions, should i apply for ssdi now?
