TDIU in the new AMA world.

[FormerMember]

Here's the latest way VA approaches TDIU. This was a one-year battle to get them to look at both PTSD and IHD together rather than trying to deny based on only one of them. A NOVA attorney told me he recently did 4 HLRs and all were turned down. Each informal DRO phone call lasted exactly 7 minutes plus or minus 20 seconds. The VA examiner sent the VES doctor three requests in an effort to get him to say the Vet could work. The dr. refused. The grant decision came out three days after I submitted proof of two Purple Hearts.  They weren't in the records or the 214.

Here's an almost identical one from last week. VA made this Vet wait 20 months (Ed).

Thank you for your post,

Very encouraging to us disabled Veterans without a "one big" disability, but rather numerous smaller conditions when taken in totality contribute to the inability to obtain gainful realistic employment.

Thanks,
