Michelle Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 Thanks, on VA website I saw 30 to 50% or so. Current gaf is 50 and because of worries, work is a few days here or there only. Not sure if SSDI is available to me, spouse works, kids in school.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 Cowgirl; I had applied for IU/T&P and I was employed Full Time but I was on Medical Leave due to Depression, Stress and I hardly ever worked just some here and there. The VA gave me an increase for my PTSD to 30% and for my Chronic Polyneuropathy 40% for combined rating to 70%. However, individually I add up to 90%. They told me that since I was considered Full Time Employed that I met the schedular requirements but because of my status I was denied IU because considered Fully employed even though I didn't actually work 40hrs a week. They did state that if and when I was no longer employed that I should reapply at that time and I'm waiting on that decision now, because in Oct/05 I exploded at work and have been unemployed every since. They really feel like if your 100% or T&P, IU then how can you manage to hold a full time job even if you don't go in every day. But I'll let you know when I get my decision, hopefully it won't be to much longer...good luck. Michelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder john999 Posted June 18, 2006 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted June 18, 2006 The VA wants to wait until you are jobless and homeless to grant IU or 100%. This is a good way to discourage people from doing what is necessary to get it. That is why those who get IU or 100% deserve it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I received a GAF of 40 and received a 70% for major depression for a combined rating of 80% and TDIU. Was also granted SSDI based soley on my VA disabilities.
