Claim For Iu Vs Worsened Sc On C&p

[indyman]

If when having filed an IU claim and C&P exam shows a worsened SC disability is it possible to be denied the IU but get an increase on the existing SC disability that has worsened? How much weight does the NP have on the questionare. Any input greatly appreciated.

Actually it can help as an IU claim is treated as a claim for increase any way.

Good Luck Hope it goes positive.

Hello,,,,, Jbasser is on target........... I would like to say that it is ALWAYS better for the Veteran to be 100 percent by the Schedular that by TDIU.

First, the TDIU is going to be very legally restrictive on your ability to do any kind of work. You just don't want to be doing any work......period.

Whereas the Schedular ratings for 100 % do not restrict you from working. Also TDIU is normally going to be a yearly required letter generated to your State for benefits such as Property Tax/Homestead Exemptions. Check your local state laws to see if the Veteran comes under a break in their property tax due to disability ....whether TDIU or Schedular you still qualify if your State allows it.

Anyway you look at it ....schedular is the way to go. Also there are some other benefits that can be cross referenced to this comparison. Good question Indy. NEVER GIVE UP . God Bless, C.C.

Well when I took the C&P on Jan 30, and got my 84 pages from ROI I realized the NP had rated my PN as Moderately Severe from the mild category. I figured this would help. I hope for schedular but I do not think there is enough. I'm thinking they will kick me up to 80 or maybe 90, but who knows. It would seem to me if they kick it up to 80 or 90, then they would also award TDIU. But, I am just guessing here. They may denie the whole think. They also found osteoporis on Feb 12 during a dexa scan. What weight if any will that have on award or denial?
