AmicusBrief Posted February 22, 2014 Share Posted February 22, 2014 It appears my claim for an increase for PTSD and TDIU was denied. My claim was closed and no increase showing on the benefits letter on eBenefits. Haven't got the brown/white envelope yet but I pretty much bummed out.

0 Navy04 Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 If your current SC is 20%, that makes it very hard to get approved for TDIU. As far as your PTSD we need to see the Exam Report. I just had my C&P last Friday and this Friday I was able to download the exam. It looks like my PTSD, which is 30% now, will be bumped up to 70-100%. In my case I have had PTSD for 5 years, and well documented, to include 3 months in a Civilian Mental Hospital. Sorry to hear of your troubles bud, but again if you load your Exam Results on here, we can give you better advice. God bless and take care Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 AmicusBrief Posted February 23, 2014 Author Share Posted February 23, 2014 (edited) I guess I'll have a better idea of how they found a way to screw me when I get the envelope. Edited February 23, 2014 by AmicusBrief Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Navy04 Posted February 23, 2014 Share Posted February 23, 2014 Do you not have a copy of the Exam? We can help you a lot with that info alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I did submit a DBQ from my Vet Center counselor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 HadIt.com Elder john999 Posted February 23, 2014 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted February 23, 2014 I got denied for TDIU the first time. I went out and got an IME to put it right. The VA tried to say my 70% disability was not the reason I could not work. They tried to say the pain meds I was on at the time were the cause. It was BS, but the IME fixed it. Wait for the decision. Get new evidence and appeal and ask for DRO Hearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 AmicusBrief Posted February 23, 2014 Author Share Posted February 23, 2014 Get new evidence and appeal and ask for DRO Hearing. I'm pretty sure my attorney won't go for another DRO hearing. He didn't want to do the last one. He said the DRO path just puts me farther away from a BVA review. 14 months later he was right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I filed for TDIU when I was 30%. I got new evidence and was bumped up to 70% but denied TDIU. When I got TDIU on appeal the effective date was the date I first filed when I was 30%. As soon as you
