Bonzai,

Thanks for the try but that is the opposite of what I am asking : - )

Carlie - I'm not sure I understand the question. Generally, for TDIU, a NSC disability cannot be consider w/the TDIU decisionbut I do remember something about when the NSC disability aggravates the SC condition. Don't remember which one, tho. I'm on the road to NC and not able to do any research, now. In fact, the next 10 days are really busy. I've got a reunion at FT Benning, next wk, and away for 3 days, w/a condo rental, over Memorial day, just to relax and catch up on my daughter's DEA claim and my SMC "s" claim. I'll try to find it but it'll be a bit. Sorry!

I think what carlie is asking is, can you get SC for a NSC that is agravating the SC issue. Am I right carlie?

Carlie,

Why would it be necessary to have a rule about this? As a layperson, I know I am probably missing something here but I would think whether it were a non service connected disability or a side effect of some medicine for another problem, if the sc disability were affected detrimentally, then wouldn't it come back to a worsening sc disability?

I have looked for something in a rule, but don't really know if one would be necessary.

Anyway, just my thought. I would think an IMO from a doctor would be viable if the disability were worsening.

Again, this comment may be totally off topic although that was not my intent. I am trying to understand why a rule would be necessary.
