Moderator pacmanx1 Posted August 31, 2010 Moderator Share Posted August 31, 2010 Your husband would need a statement from a doctor stating that he can not work due to his service connected disabilities. If your husband can get this statement now, it could greatly help his chances of getting an increase in his disabilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your husband can get this statement now, it could greatly help his chances of getting an increase in his disabilities. He already draws SSD ,,has been since 2006,, when he had to come out of work .....He went to SSA and got a form #SSA-2458 , {someone on another Vets forum told us to go get } , to send in for his claim on IHD. Do you think this would be as good as a statement from doctor for applying for IU ???? .....He no longer goes to his private doctor,, because after he had to come out of work in 2006 ,,he started going to VA doctors,,because we lost our health insurance through his work.,,thats when he applied for DMII and PTSD . ....He also went and applied for SSD and was approved for that a few months later..... His heart attack was in 2005. We sent all of his private doctors records in when he filed for DMII and PTSD ,,but didn't file on IHD because it wasn"t on AO list. ...When he got award letter granting him sc compensation for DMII and PTSD,,..they referred to his MI he had in 2005,, but they said they couldn't give comp.for that secondary to DMII because MI predated DMII. ...............Thank You for replying to my post ........Any comments on any of this will be appreciated, ,,,,,,Thanks in advance for comments.

Moderator pacmanx1 Posted September 1, 2010 Moderator Share Posted September 1, 2010 (edited) Since your husband has already been awarded SSDI, it is a very good chance of getting TDIU. Has he filed the TDIU form, since the SSA awarded him SSDI for his PTSD and DMII, VA may or may not fight the claim for TDIU but he "should" eventually win. Here is the form: http://www.vba.va.go...21-8940-ARE.pdf How close is his current claim to be rated? Edited September 1, 2010 by pacmanx1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn't applied for IU yet....He's waiting on claim on IHD ,,its one of the new 3 presumptive diseases on Agent Orange list ,,it has just came out of the OMB ,,now it has got to go before CRA ,,{Congress Review} ,before VA can start paying on claims ,,everyone's claim on IHD associated with AO is on hold until Congress reviews and approves.........This is why I'm wondering if he should wait to see what his ratings will be on IHD ,,{because right now he is only at 40% total for both DMII and PTSD} ,,by VA math ,,even though in award letter PTSD is 30% DMII 20% ,,that would be 50% in our math ,,but not VA's math,,,,,or go ahead and file for IU???
