I am 80% SC, with one condition(TBI) rated at 70% effective March 2011. After reading post here, I quickly applied for SSDI in Feb. 2011 and was awarded SSDI in April 2011. In the meantime, the VA never informed me of TDIU, however my VSO sent all of the documentation and I applied for TDIU while my SSDI was still pending. My question is, should I have waited until the SSDi claim was complete before filing for TDIU so that I would have been able to provide additional info to show that my SC conditions resulted in SSDI?
My TDIU claim has been in the decision phase for more than 4 months; I have 4 other conditions pending with this claim (some were initiated by the VA, long story). "Peggy" states that as of August 18, some conditions were decided upon and others deferred but I have hit a brick wall in my efforts of trying to find out the "true" status of this TDIU claim. I have a VSO, that's the most positive thing I can say about that... I have a VSO.

Any suggestions or should I just take a long nap?
