Sorry I wasn't sure where to post this so I will post here and in the appeal section as well because I want to help my fellow veterans who may have come across this same issue and had gotten confused just as I did. My TDIU is currently on appeal at the BVA and shortly after a CP I received a letter from the VA stating my appeal had been remanded for further development and that they needed additional information from me. The letter stated I may be entitled to TDIU and to fill out forms 21-8940 and 21-4192. Ok great! Except I ALREADY filled these forms out and that is what is currently on appeal. So I called the 800 and asked "do I REALLY need to fill another form out" to which the gentleman replied NO!! It is on appeal do NOT fill out 2nd paperwork, because the VA is working on my case and as it is progressing the system recognizes that I now qualify for certain benefits and it automatically generates the letters to be sent. So I guess it is a good thing because it shows progress on my appeal and that I do qualify for TDIU which hopefully the BVA will award. So as I have learned to do I came to hadit to see if anyone else had this similar experience and to share my experience with you so that maybe I can save you sometime and confusion as well. Because if I had filled those forms out the system would recognize it as NEW and not on appeal, and that my friends would have led to another battle.
