Question
Bill (USAF Retired)
I resigned from my federal civilian employment in November 2009, citing clearly on my resignation that it was due to my service-connected conditions (depression and PTSD).
The following day, I informed my VA psychologist that I had done so.
Lots and lots and lots of treatment and support groups happened.
In April 2010, my new VA psychiatrist signed a statement for my state tax authority (there is a higher pension exclusion in MD for totally disabled). She wrote "He has been unable to work in any capacity and has been totally disabled since November 2009."
More treatment and support groups.
In July 2010 or thereabouts, I filed for TDIU.
More treatment and support groups.
In September 2010, I received a C&P from a VA psychologist who found me to be unemployable due to depression/PTSD.
Yes, I should have filed for TDIU the day I left federal employment. I was too scatteredbrained to do it. But, the Big Question: Do I have a case for an earlier effective date than the date I actually applied for TDIU?
