ptsd Inidividual Unemployability Iu Help

[jack81mm]

Bear wid me plz,

Im at crossroads on wether to file for IU or other claims like Migraines and Vertigo that I feel are present because of diagonesed TBI.

Im also 70% PTSD n total 80%. DO not work. Cant work because of these conditions. VA pscyh DRS have written letters stating that I cant work and clinically why I cant work.

Ive been advise by VA n legion rep to submit claim for IU and have the proof from the VA DR wid the letter. I havin trouble in my mind on pursin anything that says that I cant work like IU. I have no intentions of obtainin work at this point as I know I cant do it cause of said conditions. Hopefully it will git better in the future. I figured that pursuing claims wqid other conditions I have might git me to 100%. I hat to be labeled wid anythin that say unemployable.

I also havent filed for SSDI as Im havin the same problems within my mind wid pursing it.

Migraines @50% and Vertigo @30% along wid 80% total will not git me to 100% so maybe filin for IU might be the best bet.

any opinions...

THX to alll thatst serve

So if you're making $10,000 month you would quit your job after 9 months and go back on SSD getting a check at a fraction of this? This being if you can work?

If I could work I would love to have a job making $10,000 month? Sign me up

If VA claims were slam/dunks there would be no Hadit. When you are experimenting with your ability to pay your bills I would proceed cautiously. I have IU and SSD. If I went to work earning 10,000 a month for 9 months and then quit do you think the VA would look kindly on that? If I could make 10,000 a month why would I need to be on SSD or IU? Let's get real. Most of us spent months or years in the wilderness waiting for our SSD or IU/100%. I lost 20 pounds just waiting five months. I don't want to go through that again for any reason.

Jack, You should by all means file for SSDI and IU, if you can not work due to your SC conditions. In my opinion there is no such thing as a perfect IMO, but it can be a real asset and tip things in your favor. Also, I am in the dark really as to your situation in the National Guard. Were you active duty in the armed services or just National Guard. I am just not familiar with how you are SCed and still be on call for deployment to Iraq. Maybe I misunderstood some of your post. Also, sorry for bringing in the yawn factor, I was just trying to lighten things up, as they were getting heated and your post to start this thread were being stepped on. Get back to us on this. For the most part were all here to help and sometimes things just get ou of control.

How do you know if you qualify for IU?

I am a Soldier, still on active duty, with a total knee replacement with servier stability issues which require me to wear a knee brace and in pain all the time. Thats not all I also have fibromyalgia that makes the pain worse in all my joints and to top it all off I have the vertibra in my back between c3 and c9 with c6,7,8 crushing down on my spinal cord taking my breath away every time I take in a deep breath. I am on constunt pain medication making it somewhat unsafe to drive; my wife will let me drive to work and home and that it.

Welcome to Hadit.

I'd check with BDD - MEB/PEB.

Please start a new thread with your questions.
