HadIt.com Elder john999 Posted June 2, 2014 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted June 2, 2014 If you are 60% with one disability at least 40% I think you can file for TDIU. I know if you are 70% with one 40% you can file for TDIU. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killemall Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 You can file for tdiu anytime actually. Even if you are twenty percent but feel your disability is worse than the rating and keeps you from working Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeeCee Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 You should get it, are you retried or got out , if you retired it has to go through Dfas audit, then go through VA system, also some of depends if it is service connected. Plus you shouldn't get the difference between the 40 to 60 percent date 2011. CONGRATULATION. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babagwa Posted June 3, 2014 Author Share Posted June 3, 2014 broncovet here's the response I got in July 2011 when I first file for vertigo/dizziness in June 2010 but the VA calls it "benign paroxysmal positional vertigo BPPV: service connection may be granted for a disabiltity which began in military service or was caused by some event or experience in service. You have claimed service connection for vertigo. A review of your service treatment records shows your were treated in 2005 for vertigo and low blood pressure ( I don't recall going to the doctor for low blood pressure) which resolved. Your private treatment records show that you were treated in 2009 for complaints of vertigo when you get up in the morning. A VA examination was requested and conducted. (It never conducted). At the examination you reported feeling dizzy when you wake up in the morning.(this never happened). the examiner dx BPPV. after review of your service treatment records he opined that your current rare vertigo is not related to established in the military.(end) My questions is what about my military treatment records back in 1996, 2001, my Pre-doplyment assessment 2005, my Post-deployment in 2006, plus my 2013 VA medical treatment? Did the VA never bother considering those as military treatment record? //BREAK// here's the response I got in May 2014 when I filed the second time in Oct 2013: The evidence you submitted is not new material. Therefore, your claim is not reopened. it is not material because it does not relate to an unestablished fact necessary to subtstantiate the claim. and/or does not raise a reasonable possibility of substianting the claim. You were previously denied service connection in a rating decision dated July 29,2011. with notification sent to you July 30, 2011. Your claim was denied because no medical link between your current claimed condition and military service. Although you were seen for one episode of BPPV in service the VA examiner concluded your current complaints of dizziness were not related to the episode in service. In order to reopen your claim new evdince must be received which is material to the previous denial. You provided copies of your service treatments regarding your episode in service along with statements discussing your symptoms. The evidence is not material since it was already considered by the VA examiner in the previous decision. Your claim remains denied as there is no evidence linking your current complaints to military service. (end) broncovet I typed it letter for letter word for word from the decision letter, but this decision just go round and round. thanks. //break// thanks everyone who send their congratulations!!!!! and keep fighting and good luck!!
