Just received letter from VARO denying claim for "Increased Compensation Based on Unemployability". The letter states: Did not submit VA-Form 21-8940 as evidence not received. I am very confused as I submitted the form via certified letter on 04/11/2012; I have the signed receipt of Varo receiving it. I submitted the form immediately after a DRO Hearing held a few days after the hearing. My question is? Are multiple (VA Form 21-8940) forms supposed to be submitted for claim process? If that is the case then I am in the dark. I thought one form to be sufficient for TDIU claim process. During hearing in April 2012 and upon reviewing evidence at hand RO recommended I go with TDIU claim due to PTSD condition and service connected injuries. My VSO thought her recommendation to be a good idea, so we filled out Form 21-8940 and submitted it. Since then everything is in disarray; I have been through additional C&P exams, 6 in total or should I say12 since C&P have been for PTSD and for service connected injuries. If additional forms for TDIU were to be submitted then I was ignorant of it. If that is the case then now I'm back to square one. Opinions regarding this issue are welcomed. Thanks.
