0 Moderator broncovet Posted July 24, 2017 Moderator Share Posted July 24, 2017 The VA generally does not "infer TDIU" when the VEteran is working. I told the VA I was "not working" and they still did not infer TDIU. Im still fighting VA for TDIU after 15 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep in mind the Award Letter can arrive a few months after the Retro $$ Deposit and E-Ben SC update. You don't get a PTSD C & P copy automatically. If your PTSD C & P was performed at the VMC, check your MHV Med File download, a copy of the DBQ should be in the "Treatment Notes" section. Semper Fi My VSO sent me the letter earlier this year.

0 Gastone Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Depending on your current employment/Earned Income situation, start an IU Secondary to PTSD FDC on E-Ben. You've got 364 to hit the Send Button. Filing a NOD against the Recent PTSD Award, what causes you to believe the Rater was in error with the 70% Rating? Are we missing something here, was there EOR (Evidence Of Record) in your C-File that you believe the Rater missed? Remember, your thoughts and feelings play no role in a NOD/Appeal. If you actually do qualify for IU, you could have an FDC Award paying you at the 100% Comp Rate within 5+ (?) months. You can still file your NOD within the 12 mos filing window.

I never got an award letter in the mail. I didn't get a c&p exam copy.
