As some of you know I was awarded 50% disability last week for SC chronic 48/gaf PTSD . Was denied anything for 2 PH and Stage 4 tonsil cancer AO. You advised me to file IU form with NOD on PTSD. I have an appointment with doctor tomorrow. Do you absolutely have to have a doctor`s letter stating you are unemployable or can you ever win filing NOD for IU showing you haven`t worked in over 2 years and claiming PTSD is the reason? I`m anxious to get this NOD sent in and it might take weeks with this doctor for him to write me the letter. I was also advised to file for Tinnitus which I have done along with Gerd/Barretts esophagus and insomnia. Nam combat vet 56 years old.

Note:
Your first posts on the board may be delayed before they appear as they are reviewed. The review requirement will usually be removed by the 6th post. However, we reserve the right to keep anyone on moderator preview.

You’ve just been rated 100% disabled by the Veterans Affairs. After the excitement of finally having the rating you deserve wears off, you start asking questions. One of the first questions that you might ask is this: It’s a legitimate question – rare is the Veteran that finds themselves sitting on the couch eating bon-bons …Continue reading
