90% to 100% TU Question

[Smirak]

Apologies as this may have been asked before, but the search function is too broad.

I am currently 90% disabled.  20% each shoulder, 10% tinnitus, 70% PTSD, 10% asthma.  I have been let go from 2 jobs in one year, and this last job, I think I was fired for having too many appointments (I already have an EEOC complaint filed).  I have issues remembering what to do, staying on task/staying focused, and managing my time effectively.  Should I apply for an increase to 100%, or should I apply for TU or P&T?  My questions are below.  

First question:

I would like to get to 100% TU, P&T, anything that gets me to 100%, but am unsure of which direction I should go.  The first thought is to have my PTSD rating move from 70% to 100%.  I have asked my providers (non-VA) to provide me a letter stating my inability to maintain gainful employment.  

Second question:

I have to have spine surgery next week.  I have to have a multi-level ACDF on C5 and C6.  I am not rated for this condition.  However, could it be a secondary condition to something I'm rated for (like my shoulders)?  I never saw a doc while in service for this condition.  Hence the question.

Third question: 

Is there any way to get a rating for TBI if one was never diagnosed?  I'm pretty sure that I have an undiagnosed TBI.  In early 2004, the test for TBI was "did you lose consciousness" to which I would have to reply "no".  However, how does the VA handle a claim for TBI 10+ years later?  I suffer from debilitating migraines at times (is this secondary to another condition?).

Thank you for the replies.

Did you ever get told you have eligibility for Chap 35 Dependant Educational Assistance, or does that show up under your other benefits on Ebenefits or VA.gov? Your award letter with TDIU would still say 90% and "you are being paid at the 100% rate due to being unemployable....." or something like that. I don't have one in front of me, and Im not IU so my letter says differently.
