hedgey Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 So then if Blackbird is 60% SC disabled, and TDIU to 100%, what priority level is he for treatment? Just trying to understand how this TDIU works. My spouse thinks that if I get TDIU I will be done fighting for my other SC claims and I can just drop them. I think I need to get the SC conditions rated, just in case. It seems to me that if my private doctor is telling me that I have secondary conditions that stem from my SC conditions, I should get rated for them. I guess the question is, does TDIU 100% make you a priority 1 vet? Let us be kind, one to another, for we are each of us together in our pain.

You all are right, the wheels turn sooo slow sometimes it takes them forever to correct the simplest things. e4766 USA Spc 5/Big Red One Company A 1st/5th ARTY Fire Direction Center Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
