[air1]

How long and what is next step.I was granted PTSD but remanded 100% total disability

RO will send you the New PTSD Rating with an 'Inferred IU Claim" notification mentioned in the Award Letter. You must then file an Official IU Claim, if you haven't already done so, including the VA 21-4140 statement regarding Earned Income and Employment for the past 5 years.

Things may be a little clearer to us if you were to post a redacted copy of the BVA Decision or the actual BVA Docket Number, but your personal info would be visible, so go with the redacted copy.

I had no initial rating, this was my first claim for PTSD. My IMO that was done stated that given all the info and review of files that I should be entitled to 100% IU along with PTSD, so the judge agrees and it stated on vets.gov that I was granted PTSD and my claim was closed but remanded appeal (100% IU)back to RO. Also, my lawyer argue for IU at video conference hearing.

Air1,

My husband had a similar situation.  He appealed a migraine rating in 2011.  He had his hearing 4/17.  At the hearing the judge mentioned the possibility of TDIU because he is unable to work.  So he filed the IU claim that day with his VSO.  In December 2017, the IU claim closed and was denied, however. when the case came before the judge in Feburary 2018, the judge had made it part of his appeal.  In the BVA decision packet we received on March 7, it stated that he was granted the increased rating on Migraines, but the TDIU was remanded.  We have not seen any movement since then.  His increased rating for migraines has NOT been implemented and we have not seen any movement on the remand either, so we THINK they are working the remand and grant together, but we really don't know.  Our VSO has not been able to give us any information.  We have made an IRIS inquiry and a White House Hotline call.  The white house hotline responded about a week ago and it said that the"claim" was in it's final stages and a decision had been made.  It also said (we got an email) that it was currently at the Appeals resource center.  Thats all we know.  So it has been 5 months since the BVA decision packet.  I have seen some that get their increase granted in a couple of months.  Other's have indicated that the grant/remand were worked together and it was 6months to a year before any implementation.  I hope your's moves quick!  Good Luck!

Thanks for the info. My regional office works pretty fast and hopefully, my attorney will be able to get more info once she gets the BVA packet which was mailed a couple Friday. this was an appeal of denial for PTSD, no rating has been given on initial claim for PTSD.

Just received BBE.it stated that I was granted entitlement to service connection for PTSD and major depressive disorder.REMANDED(TDIU) to allow AOJ an opportunity to rate newly service-connected PTSD and major depressive disorder.      1)Issue rating decision that implements the board's grant of PTSD and major depressive disorder and assign initial rating therefor.         2)After the above development and any additionally indicated development, has been completed, readjudicate the issue of entitlement to aTDIU on appeal. So how do they rate my grant as one mental issue or separate.
