tdiu 100% Schedular Permanent & Total

[bigoc]

Does anyone have or have any experience with 100% P&T schedular.  

I know some would suggest to go for the individual unemployability route but I am not interested in this.  I also hear that 100 schedular is near impossible, I am not interested in this view as I am almost there, even with VA math.

I still able to work but I have a multitude of disabilities incurred in service and I am in the process of getting my claims fully rated as I am lowballed or denied for a few.  Once everything is fixed up according to the VA's own rating criteria I will be 100% schedular.  

So I just wanted to know if anyone has any experience in getting their 100 schedular P&T.  Or any experience with the 100 schedular issue in general.  Nothing against the individual unemployability folks, this is just not my situation. 

[bigoc]

Let me put some of the conditions I have and what the end rating will be.  I say will be, because I am the type will do what ever it takes to get there if the evidence clearly fits the rating criteria.

1.  TBI 40% now will be 70-100% 2.  Psoriasis 0% will be 60% 3.  Sleep Apnea denied will be 50% 4.  Cervical spine 20%5.  Lumbar spine pending claim should be 20%6.  Arthritis multiple 10% 7.  Tinnitus pending 10% 8.  Pending Irritable Bowl Syndrome/ undiagnosed illness/ GWI/ I Don't know what I have diagnosis

So to sum it up I currently have a 40,20,10,10,0

Should end up with: 70,60,50,20,20,10,10,10  and this is conservative estimate.  The 70 might be a 100 and there might be another 40 in there for Fibromyalgia.

I have a great deal of medical documentation both private and service medical records and I am just now getting my act together.  I submitted a initial claim that was not very well put together and I got 60%.  Once I get everything in to the VA the way it should have been I will get a much more favorable rating.

TDIU has come up and I appreciate the suggestion but as I understand it you can not work with this type of rating hence the unemployability.  I absolutely want to keep working.

Big:

I hate to burst your bubble but no one knows exactly what the VA will do in any given situation. Don't count your chickens till you get the money in your bank.

Actually, you can keep working. But there are limitations on earnings and other details too, I think.. From there, we'll need one of the more experienced members to tell.

Dont forget the schedule for rating disabilities are based on the veterans loss of earnings related to service connected conditions. If you are actively working, IU will not be considered.

At 100 percent schedular you can work. There are a lot of folks doing that.

Good Luck with your claim.

bigoc,

Most people here will not give up and are the type to

"do whatever it takes to get there if the evidence clearly fits the rating criteria".

They too, have medical documentation, some from a private medical provider's,

some from VA provider's, some from SMR's and some from either two or

all three of these.

Believe it or not, I will state the majority of claimants would agree with your statement regarding getting a much more favorable rating.

If you are granted all of the increases as you are requesting, in a timely manner, I will for sure be one to give you a big pat on the back.

I sure hope for your sake that the claims adjudication process goes as smoothly

for you as you are laying out.

Stick around and keep posting.

The only thing I will add is from time from time make sure you get a copy of your medical progress reports/notes from your civilian and VA doctor's appointments and read them to find out what you are being diagnosed and treated for. Also, you just have to wait and see what VA awards you on your next rating decision.

Hope the best for you
