Hi,
I recently got awarded 60% disability, but have been out of work as per my doctor since Nov.2005. I am working with the VA and my rep told me to try for the TDIU before even asking for the convalescence temp of 100% because of the time frame I have to ask for it. I am surprised that they overlooked the fact that I am not working as per doctor's orders. In any case, my doctor wrote a letter for me and he was good and even put the direct connection to the military in the letter. But the last line was,” She remains unable to work because of her medical disability" he put in my diagnosis, all the dates, and the fact that I had surgery, what type and he also wrote” she continues to have disabling headache, neck and back pain which require ongoing medical supervision"
Do you think this will get me TDIU or should I try to ask for temp convalescence?
Can I ask for these at the same time?
Is there a form I need to fill out to get the temp or will they take that into account when they go over my TDIU form?
I stopped working 2 days before the surgery, but my hours went from 40 to approx. 15-20 per week prior to that.
I don't even go back to see the doctor for 3 months. They gave me meds to help with the pain and pressure of cerebellium fluid in the head, but I really only see a very slight change.
