Berta Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 They dont award TDIU until they get the form. I bet they will include it with the decision but it is also here too- form 21-8940. I made many posts as to how this form should be filled out. If the SSDI is solely for your SC disabilties, they should award TDIU. In my opinion they deferred because they will send the form with the decision and then take it from there. Of course they could sit on the formal decision long enough for you to potentially lose some TDIU cash as they most often use the TDIU date you signed the form as the TDIU EED. I would send it off by priority mail , wit tracking slip if I were you-Yesterday ----- And keep copy of it as well. They will need to check your employment info and also tell them the side affects of any SC meds that hinder your ability to be employed. and by all means check Yes to the SSA question ( # 18 or 19 I forget) and expand on that under Remarks area if the SSDI is solely for the exact same SC conditions. CONGRATS! 70 % isnt that far away from TDIU in most cases. GRADUATE ! Nov 2nd 2007 American Military University ! When thousands of Americans faced annihilation in the 1800s Chief Osceola's response to his people, the Seminoles, was simply "They(the US Army)have guns, but so do we." Sameo to us -They (VA) have 38 CFR ,38 USC, and M21-1- but so do we. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
