ptsd Trat8 Have A Question About Tdiu Ssdi & Ptsd

[trat8]

Hello my name is Trat8 I have a question on TDIU I have a combine rating of 60 % for my PTSD I have 30% as of June 2011 from va. I applied for a increase due to worsen PTSD. I applied for TDIU or the Extra Schedular. A Cilivian Psychologist whom did my report and said PTSD as defined by DSM-IV and the recurring symptom of this disorder make me 100% disabled. This was done in Nov 2012

I also have documents from the SSDI Approval Awards Letter that say I became disabled on June of 2011 same day I got my combine 60 % from the Va. On the document from the SSDI is One Non-Service Disability and Two Service connected Disabilities: When I applied for SSDi: I stated the following for requesting SSDI approval: Non -Service Connected Benign brain tumors/ Service Connected Flat Feet and Service Connected PTSD.

Can anyone help me by telling me what my chances may be as far as a Va. Rating increase,

This is my first time using this site so I hope I'm in the right area.

I was looking for a Betra I see helping many of vets on this site hope someone can reply.

Thanks for serving

Yes, the VA will leap on the brain tumors as the cause of your total disability. If you can soft peddle the brain tumors, or just exclude the SSDI information all together. You have enough to get TDIU without SSDI. Giving the VA any optional reason for your TDIU besides a service-connected one is to give them a string to pull on. It happened to me from a doctor's report that mentioned a NSC problem I had. The VA denied my TDIU even though I was 70%. You don't want to give them any ammunition to use against you at all.

Thank John, I think I gave them the Ammunition because all of that is in.The Last thing I had to do when I got SSDI was to see a Psychologist: Must have had something to do with the PTSD Part.

hat I did was Put in for TDIU: by asking for a increase because of my Worsen PTSD 30% & Flat Feet 30%, total 60% Combined. Then I went to a Civilian Psychologist Whom stated on the evaluation as difined by DSM-IV and the recurring symptoms of this disorder make me 100% disabled.

turned that evaluation in with my TDIU claim. I did not mean to give the the ammunition to say no because of my two NON-service brain tumors. "But" I know the Va. One thing and then every thing can turn up side down . I do understand Nightmare and have to way and see.
