tdiu VA says they made a CUE in awarding me IU.

[Speaking Out]

VA says they made a clear and unmistakable error in awarding  me individual unemployability in 2012. My combined rating is 70% and my award letter from 2012 rated me permanent and total. I received a letter that my claim fell under a special review and the CUE was discovered. The letter doesn't say what the CUE is.  I met the criteria when I applied and also got SMC K.  Why would an IU rated P/T get pulled for a special review?

I have nothing else to say on this subject  if you don't understand what you have read

about volunteering at VA and getting TDIU than that's your problem not mine. Good Luck

UPDATE:

We initiated a special review of your file on September 16, 2015.

It has been determined that our decision was in error and entitlement to individual unemployability will not be terminated; therefore, your eligibility to dependence educational assistance will also continue.

A clear and unmistakable error is found in the evaluation of migraine headaches and an increased evaluation of 30% is established from April 12th, 2011.

Your compensation payment will continue unchanged.

Thank you everyone for your advice and well wishes!

PUREADY,

Your just a little bit paranoid about  gettingTDIU P&T & working right? Well your right if a veteran works for pay and getting TDIU   he/she will probably get a letter propose to reduce.

 

However

Show me in the CFR'S or any VA Regulations  that a veteran can not do volunteer service if he /she is sc at 100% or TDIU P&T WITH SMC's and if they do they will be reduced in rating?

Doing volunteer service  the veteran is not paid a dime.  It's just giving your time to help others and helping yourself doing so.

I think the VA would welcome veterans to volunteer service...its good for everyone!

I know a war war II veteran that volunteers every morning around 5:00am at my VAMC  He is 96 years young  in a wheel (electric)  he meets the veterans every morning welcoming them with hot coffee cream sugar...he is  getting TDIU Plus 4 OR 5 SMC's  he has been doing this for the last 40 years  and he is the kind of veteran I look up to and I & other veterans show him a great deal of respect for doing what he has done and sill doing.  he still wears his old units uniform with all his medals  and I think he is awesome  and  represents what a great veteran truly is.  I enjoy listing to his war war II stories.

We all know if we are getting TDIU  Rather or not P&T CMC's... We all know we can't work and make lots of money...actually we can't work if we wanted to!

& sure if we do then yes  the VA will be down on us and yes reduced our rating.

Volunteer Service is a whole different subject   its not meant to be your working for pay but helping in a good cause. and for some veterans its good therapy.

if your able?  to try it some times you might love it and meet some wonderful folks at the same time.

we all need to get along and be polite to one another and keep things civil

PUREADY  You need to keep it civil to each other and be more polite in your post.

 

...........Thank You!

part of the reason i received unemployability is because of my depression/anxiety issues, especially when with others. the shrink who did my depression comp and pen wrote that this would proclude me from sedentary work.

i am confused here. if you can volunteer a few days a week, that is consider sedentary (in my book anyway). so how does it not affect your unemployability?

So, the end result of this situation is that the RO CUE'd its CUE.
