Hambone11B Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 First I want to thank everyone on here for there advice. Second I want to encourage everyone out there that is waiting for there envelopes that there day will come if they just keep on truckin! Its a long, arduous challenge that tests an insane veterans sanity but with hope and help from hadit members it can happen. I just got back from my VSO and found out while I was there that I was granted 100% TDIU backdated to 17SEP2009. I couldn't hardly believe what I was reading while I was in the office. I literally broke down when it hit me that I had won. I also had new service connected disabilities rated as well as an increase in two others. My new ratings are as follows: 70% PTSD 50% Sleep Apnea 20% DDD 10% Cervical Strain (neck) 10% GERD 10% Headaches 10% Tinnitus 10% Hypertension 10%Left Shoulder Strain 100% TDIU granted I can't begin to tell you what this means. I will be able to finally get out of this small apartment and get a house for my Fiancee, her son and myself. I can't wait to tell her that we will actually be able to enjoy this summer instead of scraping by again. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU hadit members. I owe you so much for your advice.

Hambone11B Posted May 13, 2011 Author Share Posted May 13, 2011 Is there a link for what the added benefits for 100% are? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berta Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 It depends on whether they awarded you P & T for most additional benefits. Thank YOU!!!! Hambone. You made a significant sacrifice due to your service. The relief that comes with an award is enormous emotionally and financially but they can never pay any of you enough in my opinion for your SC disabilities.
