Fibro Increase

Rate this question

Question

could someone help me figure out why i was not given a fibro increase and tdiu? I was given 30% for depression and i have three statements from VA doc's that i was unemployable due to fibro. My original rating was 40% for fibro, hearing and knee problem. I thought for sure that would warrant a increase on my fibro since it has gotten much worse and with the statements. Thanks for any help! I did appeal the decision on the fibro already.

Hello, looks like we need a bit more information. What does the decision say on your claim, excluding personal information of course. Does it cite CFR 38-1, or VBA M21-1 reference to your service connected disabilities? In addition I suggest using the search feature here and include your specific 'tag' words to help you find other similar case discussions. Its possible that even with VA medical statements, specific wording didn't support the decision, could have been omitted or missed that would support the approval of a new rating or increase.

Also, be sure to consider appealing the tdiu if you think its warranted. Windows of oppurtunity go fast. About how long have you been unemployed? Are you on SSDI? Are you in a dire financial way? All for discussion, nothing personal here.

Sure wish the best to ya,
