vietvet Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Fellow vets, hello. I have diabetes 20%, bilateral neuropathy both hands and legs 10,10,10,10%. Would these disabilites be regarded as '1' service connected at 60% for consideration of IU? Awating C&P for PTSD. Thanks for your input. Vietvet Also have tinnitus @10%.

meghp0405 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 For TDIU you need at least one disability rated at 40%. I really don't believe that the report will convince a rater. Without a 40% singular disability, I don't see this going anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder john999 Posted February 2, 2013 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted February 2, 2013 VietvetI am guessing you are an AO vet. Get the condition of your cardiovascular system checked out for hardening of the arteries. If they find it the VA will consider it heart disease probably. Like you I am SC for DMII and PN due to AO and while having a lump on my leg checked out via CT scan the VA said I had hardening of the arteries. I got that problem SC'ed as secondary to DMII. I got 60% for that via stress tests and appeals (CAD). Were you a combat marine? If so I bet you can get a decent rating for the PTSD. You may need an IMO/IME once you are SC'ed for PTSD to bump up the rating. Have you filed for SSDI?John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
