tdiu Tdiu Questions/lost In Process

[rebelranger]

So I'm 80% SC at rates of 60%,20%, and 10%. My VSO is the VFW and they sent me a VA form for TDIU with everything filled in and I just signed it. It just stated that I haven't worked since my last deployment and they with my Dr. visits and low GAF I meet the requirements of the federal statute.

So my original claim took over 28 months to get settled and I got a rather large retro, regardless how long does a TDIU claim take? Will I need another C&P? What information will they want? Is this like a new claim or will the start date go back to the original filing date?

Really some good advice will help me out.

John when they have to combine a bunch lower ratings to get to 80% I don't think they have to infer TDIU I don't know what the 60% rating is for but we know it is not a mental health rating all mental health ratings are odd numbers except the 100% P&T rating the ratings are 70%, 50%, 30% and 10%. the GAF of 41 and a 10% rating would be galaxies apart there is nothing that would justify that rating and the other percentages you listed in your first post do not match known awards for PTSD, if your life matches a 41 GAF troubled home life, work, flashbacks, sleeplessness, there are a lot of factors that go into a PTSD rating but you obviously should be rated higher than 10% which is the only rating you posted that matched the ratings the VA grants for PTSD. Is your mental health doctor made any notes supporting your inability to return to any type of employment? Mine does it annually and he started it in Feb 2004 and continues to this date and I have been rated 100% for PTSD since Dec 2003. I have had a few other issues added since things 100% ICD and CAD, 10% hypertension and get paid at SMC l level.

Ok so I just checked and I messed up my ratings. I am actually rated 70% PTSD, 10% Hearing, 10% Ulnar neuropathy.
