0 Content Curator/HadIt.com Elder Vync Posted December 12, 2017 Content Curator/HadIt.com Elder Share Posted December 12, 2017 Good info. It sounds like anti-veteran employees who have been there for a while trying to sneak a turd sandwich into the fridge.

0 Gastone Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Unless my read was way off, this change will only affect New Extra-Scheduler IU Awards. Scheduler IU Vets (Having an SC 60% or a 40% SC with 1 or more SC with a CSC 0f 70%) are not affected. I didn't see any discussion addressing "Grandfathering of Current IU Awards," so I believe those Vets already rated Extra or Scheduler IU don't have to worry.

0 Berta Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 Buck- I got this from Ben too the other day , but hesitated to put it on the board- then I saw it under the news articles Tbird has posted here... I think vets have a right to know what is going on but I too agree with Gastone, as to what the article really says. I dont think you need to apologize at all. GRADUATE !

0 HadIt.com Elder Buck52 Posted December 13, 2017 Author HadIt.com Elder Share Posted December 13, 2017 Thank you Ms berta The only thing I don't know for sure is if I am still legally TDIU P&T? Before my 70%PTSD SC Rating I was 90% combined rating using the (b) extra scheduler 50 % & 10% 30% INCREASE before the IU =90% COMBINED RATING ...Since I could not do any type work they gave me the TDIU P&T with chronic disability in nature and not expected to improve in my life time, no future exams scheduled. That was in my 2003 Award letter for the TDIU P&T Ok fast forward to 2014 I was Awarded the 70% PTSD long over due but that's another story. I never wanted to admit I had a Social mental problem, I had hidden it for years from my Vietnam days, but just got worse and worse finally my spouse had enough and my PCP had me to see mental health. Since I finally filed the PTSD Claim I was awarded the 70% and they said I was 100% rating now with SMC -S.H.B. IU is not mention anymore in e benefits but it does show the 90% IU Rating. so with all my combined ratings over the 160%(ACTUALLY AROUND 190% COMBINED RATINGS. . .they say I have a final 100% degree in rating. ITS IN THE LITTLE BLUE CIRCLE in e-benefit;s that gets bigger when you hoover the mouse over it 100% final degree rating. so Iam not sure if I am still considered TDIU P&T Or not? All the EOB Letters that I print out say I am 100% P&T YES. Nothing actually about being IU? Anymore. so maybe the TDIU is Moot Now? I still send in the Employment Questioner form Every year. to be on the safe side.

0 Moderator broncovet Posted December 13, 2017 Moderator Share Posted December 13, 2017 I applied for benefits in 2002, and have been on hadit since 2007. I can not remember a time when there was "NOT" talk of limiting TDIU in some form or fashion. That is "at least" 15 years in my recollection, and there is no doubt the same thing happened prior to 2002. To reiterate: Worry about something more real, like geting hit by an asteroid, or how you will pay all the taxes when you win the lottery. Or, better yet, just forget about all the worrying and concentrate on helping others. THis does not mean we should just "forget" about any proposed legislation or Veterans benefit changes that may affect us adversely. These changes, however, have been propsed for decades and defeated time and time again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My disability cost me the most productive years of my life work-wise. I was maxing out my IRA and 401-K contributions and that was almost 16 years ago. I lost out on SSA, OPM Pension, and personal
