Good afternoon, I have a question, and I have searched, but maybe I am missing something. I was granted 10%, 04/01 for my hand. I was granted 70%, ptsd/anxiety and 10%, tinnitus on 03/05. I was granted 0% for my digestive system 08/13, EED 08/08. I was granted TDIU P&T 09/13. Can someone who understands this rule, tell me how TDIU works in relation to this rule. I am past the 5 year threshold and coming up on 10 years in September. I am over 55 as well. I really have been thinking of looking at increasing my Gastro claim as I feel cheated! I had/have binders of evidence and symptoms. I have to pay for co pays for my meds for this, (granted, it is not a whole lot, just the principal) because it is not on the VA formulary, and Tricare requires a co pay because it is not a generic. I also have been thinking of the pact act (Iraq 04). I have breathing and lung issues that my Pulmonologist has attributed to Asbestos and military service.
I guess, what I am asking, at what point can I file for an increase and or new claim....without worry ? Or, is it just not worth the hassle?
