I have TDIU and I got "S" for having an additional 60%. When did VA decide your TDIU had to be for a single disability? What the heck does it matter? The VA is always trying to cheat some vet out of something. Bradley v Peake did not mention a single disability to TDIU as far as I know. I have a lot more than 60%, actually since I have 60% for one condition and five 10% ratings. Lawyers at the VA must stay up at night thinking up ways to screw old disabled vets out of a few bucks. They screwed this old vet that is for sure.

derenick52, Congratulations and hopefully all is well with you or as US VETS say as good as can be! I have a question for ya since I'll be going through the same sequence in a few months. What form did you first file for your convalescent? How Long did it take to get that convalescent? the 1 month? and the 12months? any information you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

God bless OOH RAH!
