Rate this question

Question

  • HadIt.com Elder

Say a vet has several service connected issues depression already rated 30% and is on ssdi for SC physical conditions.

Tdiu is awarded due to mental health examiner opinion that all these do cause the vet to be unemeployable. No mention of ssdi, not sure if that is normal.

Question: Does the 50% in the rating schedule seem to say 'unemployable' basically unable to work?

thanks for your thoughts.

Occupational and social impairment with reduced reliability and productivity due to such symptoms as: flattened affect; circumstantial,

circumlocutory, or stereotyped speech; panic attacks more than once

a week; difficulty in understanding complex commands; impairment

of short- and long-term memory (e.g., retention of only highly learned

material, forgetting to complete tasks); impaired judgment; impaired

abstract thinking; disturbances of motivation and mood; difficulty in

establishing and maintaining effective work and social relationships ............... 50

Occupational and social impairment with occasional decrease in work

efficiency and intermittent periods of inability to perform occupational

tasks (although generally functioning satisfactorily, with routine

behavior, self-care, and conversation normal), due to such symptoms

as: depressed mood, anxiety, suspiciousness, panic attacks (weekly or

less often), chronic sleep impairment, mild memory loss (such as

forgetting names, directions, recent events) 30

Being tdiu was granted with reasonable doubt seems 50/50 so 30% mdd should have increased (50% minimum). My guess don't mess with tdiu or reopening it all - shivers.
