Question
Joe01
I am 50% SC: 30% PTSD,10% back, and others. I was just awarded SSDI with PTSD as the primary diagnose and back conditions as secondary. Haven't been working for over 9 months now do to my SC disabilities ie: back and neck pain, and also some PTSD symptoms. Asked VSO about applying for TDIU but he said that I dont meet the % requirements and we need to get PTSD to at least 50% to give TDIU a shot. I am aware of extra schedular rating, as far as i know it barley happens, and if it does happen,it will take forever. What should i do? Is it possible for a person to be increased from 30% to 70% or 100%?
If i dont request TDIU now and do it latter, lets say in a year, would the VA back the TDIU date to the date SSDI was approved?
