puppyduks Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Filed April 2013 and just got my rating. Had a couple snafus along the way but it all eventually worked out. I was rated 70 PTSD, 40 Fibromyalgia and 10 FOR IBS. So a total rating of 80. I can not tell in words the feeling of relief and validation I have right now. It was a long haul but it has been worth the struggle. For those still going through the process, hang in there. The tunnel may feel never-ending but keep on keeping on... the light is there at the end even if you can't see it.

Gastone Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Did you get an inferred IU claim? You're now at the schedular rating for an IU claim if and when your SC causes a problem with work and you have Individual Earned Income of less than $12,400 (under 65, $11,400 66+) or $238.00 per week. Time to start researching IU Claims and requirements. Semper Fi Gastone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berta Posted May 4, 2015 Share Posted May 4, 2015 Great news and I too wondered if they inferred TDIU or if you are still employed. You gave good advice.As miserable as the process can be, we cannot walk away without our rightful benefits. GRADUATE ! Nov 2nd 2007 American Military University ! When thousands of Americans faced annihilation in the 1800s Chief Osceola's response to his people, the Seminoles, was simply "They(the US Army)have guns, but so do we." Sameo to us -They (VA) have 38 CFR ,38 USC, and M21-1- but so do we. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
