Berta Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Before I forget- This topic here contains great information on Bradley V Peake. http://www.hadit.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=32820 If TDIU is based solely on one single SC disability (as in your case they could consider TDIU based on DMII and the secondarys it caused- then a 60% additional independent rating (such as in your case -for the IHD- if your medical evidence warrants that rating)would set you up for TDIU plus SMC at the "S" level." Then again it depends on how they award the deferred issues. Not only do AO vets now have chance to get their IHD service connected -when the proposed rule becomes law, but the extensive information that was posted at the Federal Register site when they were seeking public comment does consider that VA has already determined most of the AO IHD awards will be at 60 %. This gives many AO TDIU vets a chance now for SMC at the "S" rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
