0 killemall Posted February 9, 2014 Author Share Posted February 9, 2014 Thanks for the response. I know of someone who is 60% for hearing loss and 10% for tinntus who gets tdiu. 60% is a very profound loss of hearing. My most recent exam shows a 40 to 50% hearing loss rating You are likely right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 HadIt.com Elder jbasser Posted February 10, 2014 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted February 10, 2014 One condition rated at 60 percent or combined with one minumum of 40 percent and a total of 70 are the rues. A claim for IU is also a claim for increase so it is still feasable. j A Veteran is a person who served this country. Treat them with respect. A Disabled Veteran is a person who served this country and bears the scars of that service regardless of when or where they served. Treat them with the upmost respect. I do. Rejection is not a sign of failure. Failure is not an option, Medical opinions and evidence wins claims. Trust in others is a virtue but you take the T out of Trust and you are left with Rust so be wise about who you are dealing with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 ketchup56 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 If indeed you are unemployable due to your s/c disabilities,then if the vba indeed raises your COMBINED ratings to the 60% then you will indeed be eligible for tdiu based on ratings being of ONE disability. Hearing loss,tinnitus and PTSD secondary, would be considered one disability of the common etiology. See 38cfr 4.160000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 StreetWalker Posted February 11, 2014 Share Posted February 11, 2014 You're wrong. Member of the Church of the Enlighten Pistolero. I may be out-manned but I'll never be outgunned. Shoot to stop the threat or till the magazine is empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 killemall Posted February 11, 2014 Author Share Posted February 11, 2014 Ketchup. Thats wjst Im shooting for. If I get 50% for hearing loss and my ten for tinittus plus 10 for depression secondary to hearing loss I.thought this would indeed be the same group and therefore suitable for tdiu.
