Tdiu awarded question

[Axilleas]

Hey I had one more question...on vets.gov it says my tdiu was granted. The va rep says it’s just awaiting a final signature. I wasn’t aware of this till today. And yesterday, being as I’ve been in a va for a service connected disability for a month now I had requested information be sent to me to file for a a temporary rating while I’ve been hospitalized. I did not fill anything out or submit it. This won’t have any bearing on the already granted award right?? Kind of panicking... thanks guys

They might absorb the one month temp comp into the TDIU award.

What I mean is they wont pay both for the same month.

But best to wait for the actual decision.

Then again if you have not applied for the temp comp yet-perhaps it would be retroactive to the date they give you as the EED ( Earliest effective date) for the TDIU... if you apply for it.

could be waiting on signature for retro if its a size-sable amount.?

and no it should not have any bearing once a decision is made. other than just waiting on the signature.  Relax Now.

I agree with Berta and Buck.  Relax and go fishing, play chess, deepen your relationship with your wife.  Go see your grandkids.

Thanks guys! I appreciate the input. Can’t help but feel a little anxious I guess. Is there any way to check on the progress between signatures or is that all backend stuff? The DRO approved it aug 13, I can’t understand how a sign off could take more than two months! Errrr, wait it is the va right? Hah

Yes, there is a way to check.  Go pick a sunflower, number petals odd or even and write a date on each.  Then pick them out of a hat.  That will be your date.  Its actually more reliable than ebenefits.
