Question

Was dragging my self in the house after being at VAMC 2 days and driving 136 miles each way and thought I would bug my VSO. They said "We called and left you a message earlier on your answering machine...WHAT? I didn't get a call on my cell...No on your home answering machine !"

To tell you you won and were awarded 40% for your fibromyalgia secondary to PTSD!! Had her read it to me twice to make sure I was hearing her correctly.

So she says now put in for TDIU....OK I will fax you tomorrow.

Then I thought about it and remembered I put in for TDIU 2-3 years ago and it was never decided on...

So I talked to my good friend Larry, and will find my original copy and will proceed with my statement in support of claim info...

What next? Maybe they will do me right and get my 04 claim worked out after all it did come back from the BVA remanded in 02/2010.

So folks I am amazed and grateful for all the support shown when I was moping around in a funk!

These process's all started in 03...

....oh yeah, one other thing, do not forget to attach a copy of your original app for TDIU (hopefully you used a form 21-8940 "application for increase in disability due to unemployabilty" or whatever it's called), to your 21-4138!

Ask them WHY. Wasn't the ORIGINAL 21-8940 sufficient?

(surround yourself with the ORIGINAL EED.......protect IT if possible)

The ONLY reason that I can think of for them requesting another "new" version is that the reason that you were granted disability was NOT the same reasoning that you verbalized to the VA as the reason for your TDIU claim. Bearing in mind, of course, that an official TDIU app is a request for increase in an existing sc'd disability.
