tdiu Do I Appeal? What Would You Do?

[fiasco007]

So I recieved my proposed rating of 90% "see below". I know they low balled me on a couple of issues, and a couple of those "10%'s" could/should easily be 20-30% or more. Since I got 90% already, "I feel lucky and fortunate to recieve this much"

Is there any benefite to me appealing their decisions on some of the below contentions? (NOTE) I dont think any of my contentions that I would appeal would garner a 50% or more rating. Maybe 50% if I am lucky.

Since I am at 90%, can I apply for the TDIU even if I plan on working when I get out?

Fiasco,

I've been reading more of your topics that you have been posting.. I would definitely hit your 20 year mark. Have you had a Audiology for your hearing. If you have decreased hearing then you should file that as well. Here's my advice, look through all the title 38 codes of federal regulations of disabilities that I have attached. If you have symptoms or believe you do then get an appointment. By getting appointments and care they cannot discharge you without a good bill of health. This will also help blow some time.

Good Luck and Don't Let Them Jerk You Around

Awesome. Thanks for the help guys. I will definitely be appealing the DOD/MEB decision to try and make my 20. I'm just going to appeal everything they throw at me until I hit 20 or get really close to it. From what I hear, the Secretary of the AF is 14 months behind with appeals so I think I have a really good shot of making it.

The funny thing about the hearing. Is that my hearing has actually improved over the past 19 years, "so the VA tells me". I dont think I can hear that well, but whatever.
