Question
ETM81
Hello everyone. I have a PTSD increase/TDIU claim pending. I want to submit my SSD record/file to the VA to help support my claim but I have a question. The effective date of my original PTSD disability benefit is 10/18/10. SS retrieved my records ONLY from the VA yet they have my onset date listed as 12/15/10 (about 2 months later). I'm not sure why this happened. Do you guys think this matters at all and would you recommend that I go ahead and submit it despite the different onset dates? Everything else looks favorable. My primary SSD benefit is listed as Anxiety Related Disorders aka PTSD. Thanks in advance for your help!

Is your TDIU claim "recent"? That is, did you file the form that says which specific disability caused your IU? If so, what disability(s) did you list as causing your IU? "Which" disability
