tdiu Compesation Claim Pending, Should I Also File For Tdiu

[hulamatt]

Got approved for SSDI, for schizo, VA is slower so still havent gotten an initial rating, should i file a TDIU claim, too just to get the ball rolling, or should i wait to get it SCed

Also my EED for social security is way off, will this hurt my Va claim, or does it not matter as long as the condition is SC'ED, didnt feel like appealing it because i did not want to get denied again, it is a year after the presumptive year

Yeah, thats true, but the date they decided i became disabled is one day after discharge date, when in fact i was disabled many months before, and not working, hell all the medical records they got were before my ED, but they were trying to say well i was in the army so.....its your discharge date, whatever, im not gonna fight it because i dont want for it to be decided that it needs to be reconsidered and then denied

Go ahead go to Social Security Office with Law cited to you in answers posted. Get claim filed SSDI has nothing to do with your VA claims totally 2 different Sections of the U.S.Code which governs the application of the VA and Social Security Laws.

They told me in 1997 I did'nt have enough quarters to qualify when I wanted to file due to brain damage and retirement on disability was 100% since 1968. Sent me a letter every year since 1998 I didn't qualify for SS. Then when I reached 62 sent me letter I did qualify because didn't need 40 quarters was on SSDI back in early 70's taking Vet rehab program. So file with SS with law in hand. Good Luck
