ptsd Tdiu

[grunt0311sf]

i just recieved my c&p results im 70% mdd with secondary ptsd, 20% lowerback, 20% left shoulder. I also have bi-lateral hip arthritis which was caused in service but they deny it. I spent 2 months in the va hospital under the dual diagnoisis program which they kept me an extra month. Before the 2 months there I have been recieving out patient care for over five years. My regular therapist and doctor requested me to up my percent. While in treatment the counslers put me in for unemployability before I did my exams. I did recieve a unemployabilty paper in my decision package dont know if that matters. My gaf score is 40. I also did neuro testing which i was diagnoided with mild cognitive disorder nos, closed head injury. I thought after you had the rating to meet the criteria for iu you automatically recieved it. Iam happy I visited this site now I have a little more heads up of what I have to do. I have delivered pizzas for the most my time out of service, which I cant do it any longer I cant I told the counslers I would put a bullette in my head before I ever do that job again. So I do look for work but I cant find a damn thing I can do. I've went to college 3 seperate times but didnt make it due to concentration problems. I have no where to go. I need to be able to live without worrying without feeling guilty for how my life has turned out after my disability happened. I guess if the veterans could find me a job I could do and was gainful and give my quality of life back somewhat. Granted no one cant stop pain and most everyone in here knows that, and that will always be with most of us, we should still be able to live a life with some promise. I'm not going to count my chickens before their hatched all i can do is hope for the best. In final do I have to go through a c&p exam again.

When i filed for IU i had to go for a C&P for everything i had a SC for. I went to 5 C&Ps.I had just recieved 90% PTSD and 20% for hearing loss in feb 09,But still had to go for other C&Ps all over again 2 weeks ago.I went to a medical dr. for 3 of them.IT took two hours. I went for PTSD exam again and a hearing exam.now i am waiting for the results with my fingers crossed.Good luck with your claim.THE veterans on here are great. they can walk you though it like they did me.

I made a mistake. i am 50% PTSD.Sorry.

I was at 70% and filed out the TDIU papers and did go for another C&P.

It was very easy after having so many C&P's. I was worried about nothing. That is what I do best.

Anyways, I was immediately raised to TDIU from 2005- 2008 and the 100% P&T from that C&P in

August .

The VA can award TDIU based on the evidence of record but they usually like to have a fairly current C&P report to support their decision.
