Hello Veterans. I just received an increase from 40% to 80%. I put my claim in December 2015. My ratings are as follows:
20%: Lower Back Condition (continued)
70% Major depressive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, obsessive compulsive personality disorder (ocpd claimed as anxiety, depression, and difficulty sleeping) (secondary to lower back condition)
10% Radiculopathy lower left extremity (secondary to lower back condition)
10% Radiculopathy lower right extremity (secondary to lower back condition)
10% Left knee strain (continued)
10% Right knee strain (continued)
I have a few questions I would like to ask. 1st. Should I file for TDIU? Would i qualify? (I have been out of work since August)? I am unable to work due to my medical conditions. 2nd. My Comp and Pen examiner did not use a Goniometer while checking the range of motion for my Spine and Knees. I am very limited in my range of motion. Should I file a inadequate comp and pension exam? I just wanted some input and opinions from you guys if possible. Thank you.
