tdiu Smc Question

[grent]

I HAVE A 100% TOTAL P AND T

ON TOP OF THAT SAME DECISION THE VA GAVE ME ADDITIONAL SEPERATE AND NEW SERVICE CONNECTION

AS FOLLOWS I DID NOT INCLUDE THE RATING NAMES

40%

20%

10%

10%

10%

MY QUESTION IS THIS BASED ON MY 100% RATING AND THE NEW SERVICE CONNECTED LEFT OVER RATINGS LISTED ABOVE WOULD THE BRADLEY V PEAK CASE LAW ON SMC (S) KICK IN AND THE RON ABRAMS SUB COMITTIE HEARINGS

ALSO I DONT KNOW MATHMATICALLY HOW MUCH THE ABOVE LEFT OVER RATINGS TALLY UP TO SINCE I AM AT 100% P AND T

NOT SURE IF I AM 100% P AND T OR STILL ON TDIU

IT APPEARS I HAVE BEEN KICKED OFF TDIU AND I GUESS IM AT 100% P AND T IT SAYS " YOUR OVERALL OR COMBINED RATING IS 100% / WHY NOT JUST SAY YOUR AT 100% SCHEDULAR AND LEAVE IT AT THAT

I DONT EVEN KNOW IF HAVE BEEN MOVED FROM TDIU TO SCHEDULAR 100% IT LOOKS LIKE I HAVE

WISH THE VA WOULD SAY YOU HAVE BEEN MOVED FROM TDIU TO 100% SCHEDULAR AND YOU HAVE LEFT RATINGS AS FOLLOWS

I JUST CANT UNDERSTAND THE WAY THEY "VA" DO THINGS AND HOW THEY WRITE IN THAT BIBBLE GOBBLE DE GOK TO US VETS ITS REDICULOUS

EVERYTIME I GET A DECISION ITS ALWAYS ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON

THANKS FOR YOUR HELP

Personally I look for the VA to appeal the decision to the next higher court and it to be overturned.

That is the way it seems to happen.

The CFR is really clear as it mentions a single 100 percent disability. IU should count for the single 100 percent.

If the IU condition is a single condition I can see it with more clarity.If it is multiple conditions then I am still a little foggy.

Vets should check it out and ask the VA for a detailed SC letter.

It may help.

Kamaka's post here with info from the DAV explains the Bradley decision very concisely,under the Bradley V Peake topic.,

many veterans do not have a separate 60% SC disability but could possibly obtain some "K" awards.

But many vets at TDIU or 100% could be determined to be Housebound -which also is the SMC "S" award.
