Question
Johhny_Drama
I went to a Neurologist last week and explained that i suffer from headaches leading back to when I was in the military and listed this as a issue when I was exiting. I got a zero percent and started appealing this decision. I printed out a DMQ and had this doctor fill it out. He listed tension headaches and rebound headaches due to the fact i take certain over the counter meds like advil etc. He listed that he has prescribed me with a medication to treat this. I also saw where is listed that i get them more than 2 xtimes, on the sheet it was listed as the most severe as in i get them weekly. Prostrating was checked off on several boxes. When I look up the rating it says very frequent, completely prostrating, prolonged, productive of sever economic inadaptability. Listed that i may go home early on average once day a week. I may not leave, i might just have to sit in my office and close my eyes or take advil as its bad but its not like i have to leave every week.
My question is, i would not think i would qualify for the 50 percent range as I can work and i do not want to stop working but what if the VA did do 50 percent? Would this be an automatic TDIU? or would it more likely be rated at the 30 percentage? I am hoping the meds they prescribed help as these tension like buildups are awful. Also, do i need to submit additional information or would this DMQ from my neuro work?
