I filed a tdiu claim, I was 90 when I filed. I was denied and reduced to 70. I was devastated. I filed an HLR and got approved. The informal conference I requested and thr DRO that I talked to said that the rater messed up and didn't read my evidence correctly. I was approved on the phone call.

[@DewayneKimble]

Wow, that is awesome. That's why I tell veterans to know what to and how explain their claim based on facts, when it come to HLR's. Thanks for sharing.

[@Musings-From-Mike]

Thanks for your very informative video. In my opinion, It does behoove everyone considering applying for IU to consider their current disability ratings, and whether they are willing to risk having them reduced or even denied in a reevaluation during the IU claim process. Right now, I'm not willing to roll the dice for those stakes.

[@tonybob47]

Just another note, i was rated 70 MDD, 10 TINNITUS, 10 HALLUX VALLGUS,0 MIGRAINES, My 70 MDD was the main factor,(had a C&P Exam)

[@vanessamccorker9162]

What's MDD?

[@cruzinone]

Hi In late August I filed for an increase and claimed IU. My increase came back today they took my PTSD rating from 50% to 70%. I previously had 10% for tinnitus and 40% bilateral hearing loss snf 50% PTSD. All service connected. What should I do to get my IU? I did this by my self on the va website. I have an account there. I went in for a exam the Dr. told me my ptsd is worse now and said in his eyes it should be 70%.

[@DewayneKimble]

I break it down in the video. IU is a claim for increase for the S/C you state prevent you from gainful employment.

Absolutely love your videos bro. I'm 100% P&T and applying for disability retirement from my Government job, does this apply to me? I'm using an attorney to help me through this disability retirement process. I'm not applying for a claim for anything with the VA. Just curious

[@DewayneKimble]

Thanks for the support. No, IU is through VBA and medical retirement is through OPM.

[@thenoblescholar3358]

Can a claim be made for IU and an increase at the same time. Anotherwords, if you are found to be 100% for mental health but only apply for IU, will they give you 100% or just the IU you applied for? Or vise versa if you apply for increase but don't meet the requirements, but can't work, will they give you IU with out applying for it. I am ready to file but I am, and it is unclear, if I need to make the claim for both increase and IU. My VA pyscologist says I am worse, but I feel I am the same as when I recieved my 70% rating. I could not work then, and I stated I could not, they did not give me IU then. The dr. tells me to file for an increase, but should I also file for IU? I don't want to have reapetedly file, mentally this is very hard on me.

[@DewayneKimble]

I think you are over thinking the process. In the video, I explain IU is not a stand alone claim. Also, keep in mind every claim is different.

I just now received my va claim. I fell under the 100 ptsd + 60 for other SC. So I was automatically granted SMC. It shows that I was granted SMC due to meeting criteria for homebound. Does this mean I can NOT work? I want to work. I just started work this week. Thank you for all the information you put out. Doing great work!

@@DewayneKimble thank you so much!!!! May God continue to bless you!

[@wildlife11112]

Would you be able to break down my iu p&t letter

[@DewayneKimble]

Yes but we do not review rating decisions anymore. Do you want to be educated on the VA claims process, connect with us at www.kmd89.com "Don't Be Frustrated, Get Educated"

[@domirican81]

So you need 40% in one and 50% in another = 70% total

[@DewayneKimble]

Don't over think it, it's in the regulation.

[@stanp3485]

I was told be careful of filing for increase to 100% because they will automatically try to put me in IU, which i dont want, i still want to work can they do that?

[@DewayneKimble]

The VA can automatically do that, they would have to infer IU, I did it as a former VA rater. Watch my video on "they said".

I was rated 80 in April 2024 and filed IU May 2024 and was approved August 26 2024. I did all my own claims.

[@luchtg]

Hmm, I was rates 80 inarch 2024 because my sleep apnea got approved. My IU claim was filed with my original packet 6 years ago. The judge remanded all my claims back to the reviewers due to errors after approving the sleep apnea at 50%. The IU claim was also remanded without any instructions to the reviewer. I was sent all over the place to different C&P exams and now everything is back with the reviewer or board (I am not sure). I am still waiting for a decision. BTW, I haven't worked fulltime since Dec 2011 and I haven't worked at all since 2018 (I taught at University of Phoenix online until I was laid off). I'm 73 now and hopefull I hear from the VA soon.

[@gtoexpress8111]

Dewayne I'm on SSD for three different disabilities all three are SC all three are static all my claims are static all examiner state disabilities prevent me from gainful employment none state i can work anywhere else - IU on its second remand VA does a Ace review for my IU claim my evidence is overwhelming now all the evidence is in for the remand stage pending decision since March 5 2024 - only reason IU keep getting denied is because the Retro is over $275,000 thats the only reason for my denial - I hate when you tubers state evidence matters when sometimes it does when a ton of retro is due - Dewayne my claim file evidence will make a real rater like you go insane LOL
