My name is CannaVet, and I receive TDIU but am rated naturally at 70%. I was banned from the main veteran subreddit years ago for showing disdain for fascist policies and hope to build a more equitable community here accepting of all flavors of vet.
Share your stories, your struggles, your memories, here with others who can relate. Hope to hear from you all! <3
Man that sounds rough! Has the VA offered community care referrals to you? Sounds like you might benefit from that idk
Also, what is TDIU? First time I’ve seen that.
Total Disability: Individual Unemployability.
TL;DR: You don’t qualify for 100% but we recognize that you’re too fucked to work. Get 95% of the benefits of 100% but can drop back to real rating if you go back to work and pass the poverty line.
Ahhh gotcha I never saw the acronym but I’m tracking that. Thanks!
Yeah I’m currently seeing community for PT for my back. Just started actually. And for possibly getting carpal tunnel surgery. It’s just always a huge hassle trying to get them to actually put the referral in. They act like they are paying for it themselves a lot of the time and won’t push forward until I keep pestering them.
That’s a shame. I’ve had some referrals just disappear though, at least yours are sticking. Keep fighting the good fight, I hope you get all the care you need.
Thank you!
