HadIt.com Elder jbasser Posted March 29, 2011 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted March 29, 2011 Yes you can and get it done. Use the SSDI decision to support your CLaim for increase. J A Veteran is a person who served this country. Treat them with respect. A Disabled Veteran is a person who served this country and bears the scars of that service regardless of when or where they served. Treat them with the upmost respect. I do. Rejection is not a sign of failure. Failure is not an option, Medical opinions and evidence wins claims. Trust in others is a virtue but you take the T out of Trust and you are left with Rust so be wise about who you are dealing with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willie 74 Posted March 29, 2011 Author Share Posted March 29, 2011 Do I just send a statement in support of claim document stating what I want to do? Do I need to obtain the doc notes from the SSD? Can that be done? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder jbasser Posted March 29, 2011 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted March 29, 2011 21-4138 fill it out saying you would like to file for an increase and TDIU. Get the IOU forms filled out but send the 21-4138 asap. That preserves your time. You still have 1 year to submit evidence so your time limit is OK. As far as the original denial, you cannot pursue it unless the decision contained clear and unmistakeable error.

willie 74 Posted March 29, 2011 Author Share Posted March 29, 2011 Are you saying file an increase for my depression and say I want to try to get TDIU as well? 21-4138 fill it out saying you would like to file for an increase and TDIU.

HadIt.com Elder jbasser Posted March 29, 2011 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted March 29, 2011 Are you saying file an increase for my depression and say I want to try to get TDIU as well? Go ahead and file for the IU. They will treat it as an increase as IU is not a rateable condition, It is an ancillary benefit that is awarded if you meet the criteria and your SSDI decision may do just that. I think it will.
