Question
DocFMF
Hello all and this is my first post on HADIT.COM. Please bear with me as I learn the ropes around here. My situation is a bit bass ackwards from what most of the posts I have read on this subject since my IU claim with the VA processed faster than my OPM or SS Claims.
The friday prior to Memorial Day I was informed that the VA fully developed IU claim I submitted on 01/21/2015 had veen approved at 90% but uped to IU for 100% P&T. (AMAZING TIMEFRAME YEAH) This was up from my previous combined 80% rating from when I filed. I'm a 29 year (with 10 year military buy back) WS wage grade supervisor federal employee that has been out of work on LWOP since 01/05/2015 due to my many medical and mental conditions.(Yeah all us supervisors are a little nuts) I filed for my FERS disability retirement from OPM as well as SSDI from Social Security at the same time as I filed for IU with the VA.. OPM initially denied me about 3 weeks earlier but I have an appeal in now. I just sent OPM and SS a copy of my 100% PT claim letter. Also I am 54 and cannot normally retire from civil service for another year and 1/2 due to my age. I contacted SS to request they place me on their VA IU PT 100% program to speed up things on their end. I have only one more SS C&P in early June. I suffer from a ton of conditions both VA service connected and not. My highest VA rating is 70% for PTSD
Ok with all of that said..... What importance/emphasis will OPM & SS place on my IU rating with the VA? What sort of timeframe should I expect from SS? OPM?
I hope I covered everythin. Any information / direction in this matter will help a lot.
Thanks in advance

That's too much man. If you can't do it anymore, it's time to call it quits. I got to the point where I was walking out of the job due to panic attacks (sometimes 2-3 a day), furious outbursts, detach

It should have a big influence on your OPM. With OPM the medical is everything. If you doctor answers his medical part of the claim correctly it should be easy. SSA is another question because it re

I applied for OPM while still employed. I also applied for IU and got denied so basically I had to quit the job (almost 20 years federal service) and submit the resignation form for IU. I also submitt
