I was medically discharged in 09 and since then i have not really worked at all aside from some random gigs. I receive 30% for cervical and lubmar strain but i had fatigue and pain, after tons of testing a decade later i was diagnosed with fibromyalgia by a neurologist but she feels i can still work.
I spent 90% of time in bed due to fatigue, i tried going back to college by taking a single 5 credit class but i would leave early and missed several classes due to fatigue and or pain. Obviously if the doc feels i can work applying for TDIU will be pointless. It may be due to my age as i am 32 and LOOK healthy otherwise.
Would a civilian doc be my only option?
I did go through voc rehab and the 3rd party job assistance person said that based on everything i told him he felt going to college would not be an option for me. So we did not continue.

Then again. college is not the only Training for a job. You indicate that you just haven't had a full time job, side gigs, right. If you can do side gigs that provide in excess of $12,400 per year or
