Question
stever
I was was just recently denied an increase for PTSD from 50 to 70% and at the same time I had filed for TDIU consideration as I am receiving SSD but not solely on PTSD. SSD took into consideration my DDD issues also. I thought if I received the increase I stood a good chance for TDIU. My C&P Doc put in his report that I was unemployable due to my PTSD, but the DRO denied it. I have put in an appeal.
I have other conditions for which I have yet to file for. I have DDD of the back and spinal stenosis of the neck which is under consideration for surgery, lower lumbrosacral radicolopathy and degenerative joint disease of the left foot all of which I had issues with while I was on active duty many years ago. I have been in treatment for most of these issues at the va and in private practice. I also stated and it's in my records that I had some pre-existing issues with my back.
What do you think my chances are if I file a claim?
