Hello I am new to the forums
I was just awarded Social Security Disability in Missouri for PTSD, Seizure Disorder, herniated disks in my back, and kidney stones. Around a year ago I was trying to help a driver whom was passed out over the wheel I thought he was having a heart attack, but was drunk he ended up dragging me down the road until I could break loose. As a result I have herniated disks in my back that cause severe pain, and the majority of the time I cannot feel my left leg etc. But I have not been able to work since the accident.
With the VA I am currently 40% service connected for my kidney stones. But I also have a case before the board in D.C. for PTSD "originally filed in 2005". They have finally sceduled me for a C&P for my PTSD and then they will give me the decision on it. I think I have all my ducks in a row.
But to my original question......Does it make it easier for me to get 100% IU through the va since I have been awarded Social Security Disability? I realize that at the moment that I am only 40%, but I am hoping for a 40-50% for PTSD soon on top of my already 40%.
