nsallies Posted March 8, 2010 Author Share Posted March 8, 2010 Have you applied for SMC for Housebound in regards to your agoraphobia??? Just a thought, it will help you out with an extra $320 per month. Also have you applied for Independent living program through Voc Rehab. This is for those that don't qualify for voc rehab retraining and they can help in other way. Do you have anything left on you GI BILL for schooling? You are only eligible for P&T with TDIU if you can't work and your disability will never improve AT ALL. Although a doc needs to state this, trhe VA doesn't always go along with the doc recommendation. You will need to apply for TDIU wait for that, and see if they schedule you for a future re-evaluatiom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voc rehab stated they see no Independent living needs..what would the SC be for, I mean how would I state it in a letter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bravo6 Posted March 26, 2010 Share Posted March 26, 2010 Submit the Voc Rehab denial and ask for TDIU to be reconsidered. You might ask Voc Rehab to look into ILP Program. They will interview you and try to help you out with something that will improve your quality of life. RE-READ THIS ABOVE. YOU NEED A VRE COUNSELOR TO STATE THAT YOU ARE UNEMPLOYABLE WITH YOUR CURRENT SC CONDITION(s)! ONCE THAT IS DONE, THEN YOU WILL BE A GRANTED TDIU! TRUST ME I KNOW! I JUST GOT SAID LETTER AND IT GOT ME MY TDIU plus P&T! GOOD LUCK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder john999 Posted March 26, 2010 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted March 26, 2010 If you got 70% you can get IU. You may have to do a few IMO's but you will get there is you can get a doctor to say you are IU solely due to SC conditions. I did it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
