JT24usn Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 DAV sent me my pre award letter. Ebenefits shows 60 percent. I got 50% for Mood disorder NOS (claimed as anxiety and depression secondary to SC conditions). Not to bad for first time around on this issue. 20% meckels diverticulum with dumping syndrome (7328) 10% gall bladder (post cholecystectomy syndrome) (7318)./ these two are combined due to can't pyramid. 10% tinnitus NOW 50% mood disorder NOS (claimed as anxiety and depression) = 60% by VA math Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HadIt.com Elder john999 Posted March 1, 2012 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted March 1, 2012 T8r Your 50% secondary to a SC physical condition is why I tell vets who have a chronic SC disability that is causing them chronic pain or messing up their life to file for depression. Even if you just got 10% it would open the door. If you can't work file for TDIU. Keep seeing the VA psychiatrist on a regular basis and keep them up to date on all your depressive symptoms.
