TDIU and future exams

[Jamezam]

Not sure if this is a dumb question or not.

I was rated for TDIU in July 2020, effective 2014. I have an appeal on another claim from 2015. Does going to an exam to get rated for your claim even matter?

I’m asking because I have an exam with VES this Wednesday. I’m currently rated at 80% combined.

If VES exam results in positive outcome, should receive 70% for depression and anxiety as recommended by IMO doctor report and his DBQ.

I’m just wondering if you would still receive backpay if you’re already rated at TDIU level.

My brain says no because I’m being paid at highest level already. Guess wishful thinking part of my brain hopes for additional backpay.

This might help also for TDIU FUTURE EXAMS (REVIEWS)

for me they paid me back to 1999 for IU, The claim was adjudicated to  TDIU P&T ON 5-7-03 FOR THE 40%INCREASE &awarded the tdiu p&t because I was 50% at the time of the TDIU P&T AWARD  SO MINUS WHAT I HAD ALREADY BEEN PAID.

My IU review dairy date was 2-1-17

They say if this award was generated from 12-01-07  

If converted lines existed before that date  then they were protected from change.

Since this, I got another separate rating at 70% and was inferred the SMC S  putting me to the scheduler  100%final degree rating.

All I know is that I’m TDIU P&T and currently rated 50%, 40%, 10%, 10%, 10% for an 80% combined scheduler rating.

Haven’t even considered SMC.

being your at 80% at present with all your combined ratings added in  and you got the 80% rating...to get to the 100% rate you will need an additional 90% rating to make the 100%...

Now when you get to this 100% rating  if you filed for another s.c. condition  you would need at least a 60% rating or higher to meet the SMC-S Criteria. 

However being your TDIU being paid at the 100%   then in my opinion or from what I have read  if you get a another s.c.condition rated at 60% or higher  then that should qualify you for the SMC -S House Bound.  about another 375.00 or so added to your IU ,

SO ACTUALLY YOU ARE 100% RIGHT NOW   THEY JUST DON'T SAY THAT...THEY LOOK AT WHAT YOUR RATED FOR AND THE SEVERITY OF THAT CONDITION  OR CONDITION'S AND THOSE CONDITIONS KEEP YOU FROM DOING ANY TYPE OF WORK.

it is hard when a Veteran is rated  80/90% to reach the 100%...>  they do this crazy math for this reason.
