tdiu Should I Be Worried

[deviant]

My TDIU wasnt permanent and total, Just got a letter saying they are scheduling another exam. Should I be worried? During the past year I havent worked and social security was approved so I dont really know the next step. Havent been on here for awhile, have been helping a couple friends that were combat wounded. Gave them a place to stay, put them in the direction of the same people that helped me get my stuff done. One ended up TDIU and the other at 70% with a decent job. Having three people in a house that all have the same issues was comforting in a way, everyone knows what the deal is so none of us were looking at each other like lunatics. Getting someone to go to walmart was a pain in the ass but you cant have it all :) Anyway I just thought Id ask if there should be any problems

SSA was approved for the same conditions, called the 800 number back and they said they ordered the C&P exam because I received drill pay which I never have? Ive never even been in the guard or the reserve nor can they tell me the unit or the time period? And as for the claim the RO told me about, the 800 people say I have nothing pending? This is getting shady on all levels

Sounds like they've mixed your records w/someone elses. I'd go to the RO and straighten it out. jmo

Finally got IRIS to work, sent off a message dont know how long it will take for a response. Guess I better get out my wading boots for the awnsers Im going to get, the guy at the 800 line hung up the phone on me when I asked him who submitted the paperwork for drill pay into my file and not even the DOD or Treasury Department can tell me whos account it went to? Ive been around enough to know that perscom and finance doesnt just give away money to ghosts or print BS orders and when it comes to money someones name or a unit is always attached. Sometimes I think they just believe we all fell off the back of the short bus and landed on our heads with the stuff they try to pull.

I am so sorry they did this to you. Call the 1-800 number again, go into the option to new or change direct deposit, and talk to the person who comes on the line and tell them what happened, and that they need to put a trace on this as to where it went.

Got my IRIS response, it was a PDF file with the change of address/cancellation of direct deposit form? Still scratching my head on that one? Going back to the federal building tomorrow, dont really know what else to do. And the amount paid to whom ever isnt mentioned in my file nor is there any records of it ever being paid to me through Department of Defense or the Department of Veterans Affairs nor into my bank account. I guess thats the good part, The bad part is that a NOD on a claim pending for over 5 years has vanished into thin air.

To all:

If VBA schedules you for a C&P exam - for whatever reason - even if the reason

is not correct - go to the exam.

Never miss a C&P exam unless you are in the hospital and it can be verified

or unless you are attending a funeral for an immediate family member that can

also be verified. Even at that, get confirmation that you have notified VBA

you can not attend the C&P and request them re-schedule it for another date.
