I am filing for TDIU. My rating has been at 60% for more than 20 years. I am trying to make sure that I have everything I need before submitting the claim. I am wondering whether I need to have my doctor complete the Disability Benefits Questionare. I am applying for TDIU for a condition that is already service connected. I also have a nexus letter from my doctor.
As far as the DBQ, my VA doctor, who has now retired, answered most of these questions over the years in filling out forms related to my job. That is why I am not sure whether the form is needed or not.

I trust you have started the IU FDC Claim, on your E-Ben site, just haven't hit the Submit Button. You can either File for Voc Rehab on-line or as a walk-in at your RO. Expect an appointment with
