I was initially placed on TDRL in 2007 with a 30% rating for PTSD/Major Depression. I was not rated on several conditions that I should have been rated on. 2008 Went thru 1st TDRL review; Board recommended retention on TDRL with increase to 50% because of deterioration of my mental health...

Jason is there any harm that can come to one who decides to opt-in on this class action lawsuit. I was initially rated at 30% and placed on TDRL. I have been reviewed once and the board said they were increasing my percentage because my PTSD/Depression worsened to 50%. The VA started with an...

Anyone interested in writing letters to their congressman and senators to get them to try to fix it?

The BCMR is the Board for Correction of Military Records. Good luck with your case. I have to ask man would you be interested in maybe getting a lawuit not for the purposes of money because under the feres doctrine we can not get any monetary award from the DOD but filing a lawsuit to bring...

Thanks for the reply Jack. I gotcha. Just cause one vet was able to win wih that doesn't mean it set a precedent. Is that what you mean? How would you recommend approaching this issue then? :cool:

Man I am in the same boat as you. I deserve 100% because of unemployability but I honestly would settle for the 30% minimum so I can keep my access to the commissary and BX. More so for the commissary and for the Tricare coverage cause with all the conditions that I have wrong with me I will...

How do I prove unemployability for when it comes time for my next TDRL re-evaluation? The last TDRL review board asked that when I am reviewed this time that the questions be answered about whether I am employable or not? I am already receiving social security but am 100% schedular (employable)...

I am currently out on TDRL. I ave several conditions which I have found that the Veterans Affairs (VA) has rated me on and currently do not have them listed as secondary conditions but I would like to get the Air Force especially since they did not board me for everything as they should have to...

I reported to my 1st TDRL review and did not get to see a copy of my examiners Narrative Summary from the mental health clinic where the examination was performed. I had to wait until the disposition of the case was decided by HQ USAF Disability in the form of receiving their decision packet to...

Texan, My VA claim took 4 months to be processed (Submitted in Oct 2007 and money paid in March) and for me to this was suppossedly "expedited" because I was an OEF/OIF vet. I was told by my service officer that if I were not an OEF/OIF vet that this could have taken up to a year typically.

How do you show stability for TDRL re-eval for PTSD, Major Depression when you are not working and receive social security and are overall 100% for both physical and mental conditions from VA but considered employable by the VA? I have tried school and was only succesful taking one class at a...

How Do you show stability for As always Jason is on point. The next question is how do you show stability for PTSD and Depression so that you can get off of this TDR (Hell) aka TDRL? Also my evaluator on base mentioned that I might be a good candidate for the inpatient program. If I don't go...

Getting a rating from the military for depression to go permanent from originally being a temporary TDRL rating is hard from my experience. They put you thru hell and high water. If you work they will hold that against you and look to diminish if not eliminate and rule you out by awarding...

What is the contact information for your lawyer. Are you Army or Air Force? My TDRL evaluation was all messed up and they made a decision off of the wrong information that wasn't even me and included this documentation in my TDRL packet. Crazy huh? Please help. Also how much does your lawyer...

Your assumptions were correct with one thing being that the board made me 50% this time because of my condition worsening not because they followed the law. So I have no right to question the TDRL continuation decision and request an appeal for a PDRL and request a formal board at this point? I...

Jason, It has taken awhile but finally the board came back with a finding of an increase from my initial placement on TDRL 18 months ago. Initially I was placed on TDRL with 30% and left the Air Force. Now I received a copy of the narrative which had some misquotes of my statements and...

Jason, I am sorry to hear of your loss. Thanks for all that you do for us and to get the information out there. Your website has been a Godsend. Thank you. Me and my family will keep you in our prayers.

I was reevaluated for my medical condition back in December 2008. It is now March 18, 2009. I officially hit the 18 month mark in a week or two. I was placed on TDRL at 30% even though for PTSD/Depression they should rate you at least 50% according to the schedular. I receive Social Security...

Thanks to all of you for replying. I won my social security case for disability. I have tried to attend school but I can not concentrate. I have had to withdraw from several classes. I barely got a C in one class and that was only because the teacher gave me a lot of extra time to study and to...
