0 sunnyh Posted August 4, 2016 Author Share Posted August 4, 2016 (edited) Berta, Yes, I get SSD from SSA for PTSD for same service stressors since 2008. My first C&P exam in 2013 said 50%. *A VA psychologist told me the C&P examiner underrated me. The most recent C&P exam (last month) is also putting me on the 50% symptoms level. * I made sure I remembered to tell the C&P examiner that I get SSD for PTSD only when I was talking to her. She put a little blurb on he DBQ about it. I'd have to dig through a ton of papers I sent to VARO and sent again when they had a scandal of destroying records and evidence. When I was dealing with VARO myself, I'm pretty sure I sent them my SSA award letter. Edited August 4, 2016 by sunnyh Andyman73 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Question
sunnyh
I've been depressed ever since I read my C&P exam last week on the
Health E Vet Blue Button.
The things the examiner wrote I know I didn't say, was depressing.
Why would she write something I didn't say?
That doesn't matter now.
I found a REGULATION for unemployability/TDIU
that doesn't require a 60% or a combined 70%
or a 70% or 60% at all.

I've been rated at 50% for PTSD since 2013.
Before that rating, I received SSD benefits for PTSD since 2008
and continue to receive SSD.
The SSA law judge approved me for back benefits to 2002 even
though I was self-employed. My only disability with SSA is PTSD.
I told VA about my SSD for PTSD many times from the beginning in 2008.
I asked them for service connection back to 1979 when I ETS'd out of the Army
and for 100% for everyday since that day. (My shotgun format never worked with VA.)
My lawyer has known about my SSD for PTSD since I hired him in 2008.
50% is my static rating I believe and I need to know how
it's proven?
The same C&P examiner who rated me as 50% in 2013, rated me at 50%
again in July 2016.
How do I qualify for TDIU/unemployability?
Why have I never known about it?
Why hasn't my lawyer pressed the issue?
Shouldn't lawyers know about this VA benefit?
I'm feeling mad.

Sunny Don't blame yourself in any way because it took me years to wise up to understand exactly what I needed to win a major claim. Maybe .001 percent of vets are a

Obviously This is why Veterans needs to educate them self with VA Law and the CFR's before filing a claim and make it hard for the VA to deny.
