0 Vetta Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 If your PTSD doctor stated you can't work because of the PTSD and the VA finds out your working they will most likely lower your rating like Chuck stated above... Sorry I missed reading you had PTSD. Now if your PTSD is rated that much because of nightmares and such things like that then yea you can work. If I was you, I would get a boat and go fishing or hunting for awhile. Relax and enjoy life for a bit. My doctor didnt state that i couldn't work. It's a struggle going to work every day but i pretty much work by myself ... most of the time. Yes i suffer from nightmares and panic attacks and anxiety. hunting and fishing , only if you put the worm on the hook for me lol thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Vetta Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 You might want to wait until you get your award letter. Reason 70%+30% does not add up to 100% in VAs funny math. It only adds up to a combined 80%. So unless you have some other ratings it is really hard to say. Not sure if VA granted you TDIU or 100% due to PTSD. In which these rating precludes a veteran from legally working. IMHO something is off somewhere. Hmmm.... your prob right. It does say in my commissary letter "the veteran has not been scheduled for future examinations" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 georgiapapa Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 You said you were originally awarded 30% for carpal tunnel. It sounds like you may have been awarded 100% for PTSD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 georgiapapa Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 If you received 100% for PTSD or received a TDIU rating, I would listen to what Pete had to say about working. JMO Buck52 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 HadIt.com Elder Buck52 Posted February 5, 2015 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted February 5, 2015 your 100% P&T Then if no future exams are schedule. The only thing is just wait until you get your Award Letter And see what they say how they rated you. IF They rated you TDIU P&T with no future exams then you can't work...or they will propose to reduce you to back to 0% or back to the 30%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes!!! Because you are 100% with the VA doesn't mean you can't work. Now, if you were 80% and then awarded TDIU then they would question if your working. Being 100% means your service-connected injuri

With a lot of caveats, it's a big maybe. You indicated that likely 70% is due to PTSD. This is the sticky point. In general a VA "mental disability" award can preclude working. But, there are a bunch
