ptsd Tdiu For Ptsd

[Joe01]

I'm 50% SC, of that 30% is for PTSD. I just filed an NOD in January, asking for DRO review. Is been two months since I Filed this, can I now request or add to that NOD a request for increase base on unemployment? Would this be the best way to do it. I know the NOD is basically a request for increase but I want them to know I'm seeking TDIU if they do increase my raiting. Or should I wait to get an increase and then file for TDUI. What you guys think?

also, do I need an IMO saying I can't work? Cuz I have no private doc and don't know if the Va doc will go on record and say I can't work. Any opinions?

if you did a search on this site you'd have all answered, as I remember one needs to have

one SC above a certain % 30 % as I remember does not cut it.

Do some research on the site it is there

Do you have a VSO, go talk to one... see what they have to say..then you decide your options, hadit will be here no matter what you decide

As unfair as it is raters may have a "thing" about giving IU to under a certain ( 21-50) age unless they really have paperwork to back up the claim...

do some research...this site all you need, and also.... www.Watchdog.org

You will need a medical report and/or statement saying you are so disabled by your PTSD that you are unemployable. Even if you get a rating of 70% for PTSD unless there is something in your records to say you can't work you don't get IU.

that's one of my major problems. I have no private doc nor health insurance to go to one. And I don't know if my Va doc will step up to the plate and document that I'm not able to work do to my PTSD.
