eganusn Posted May 17, 2012 Author Share Posted May 17, 2012 Phillip, I just contacted my POA to get any official news, because I haven't received the big brown you-know-what, and I believe you are correct, it looks like 70%. In any case, Good News!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eganusn Posted May 17, 2012 Author Share Posted May 17, 2012 (edited) Phillip, in regards to TDIU, I am still weighing my options. I have heard the horror stories, and although I am not prone into buying everyone, I still want to see if I should wait and file an NOD/DRO for the denied issues first and see where that puts me. I haven't worked in almost a year, but I just want to figure what may be the best course of action to take. Edited May 17, 2012 by eganusn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlie Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 egan, If you are unable to be employed due solely to your SC'd disabilities, http://www.vba.va.gov/pubs/forms/VBA-21-8940-ARE.pdf If you have docs that agree, ask them why they feel this way and if they will put supportive evidence regarding this into your progress notes. If you see private docs ask them the same and if they are willing to write a supportive medical opinion to include their full medical rationale for your unemployability. Also here a DBQ that either VA or your private doc can fill in paying particular attention to Section 4 in detail and section 6 that yes - you are competent.

eganusn Posted May 17, 2012 Author Share Posted May 17, 2012 Carlie, thanks for the info. I'm still trying to figure out if applying for TDIU is still in my best interest at this moment. I will probably figure it out soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
