Ok I had been waiting on appeal For over eight years and recently received the initial rating decision. In it it said I was rated at 100% for the first three years and reduced to 70% for the remaining five years. I have been getting ssdi for this condition since 2003, which encompasses all that time of the 70% rating, well I immediately applied for tdiu after receiving that fraying decision. I've read that tdiu can be paid prior to the date of application in certain circumstances. Since the VA rated me at 70% retroactive five years and ssdi was being awarded for that period of time for the same condition, will an earlier date for tdiu be an option? Thanks for any insight.
