Hi Sir! I Have a question and I would like to know what you recommends me the most. I'm rathing %80. %10 from a lumbar spasm! The pain persists, I'm receiving shots for the pain and pills to calm my lower back pain witch now I'm having problems with my right leg. My Physiatrist did various exams on me including physical therapy , after an MRI was done they found That I have L3-4 minimal bulging disc without identation, L4-5 minimal bluging disc with encroachment upon existing nerve root. L5S1 minimal bulging with very minimal identation on thecal sac. Inspection= posture good, lordosis intact, shift none normal gait. 35 years old male with CLBP (13 years) without radicular signs or neurologic deficits. Prognosis= Chronic Pain Expected. Sir I would like to know if I have any chances after turn in this claim to expect a Higher Rating than the %10 that I have from my lumbar spasm?

What's your opinion on TDIU benefits for a 50% rated somatic symptom disorder with non specific depression

I’ve been on SSDI since 2011. Rated 90% by VA. 70% major depressive disorder. Why have I been denied twice for TDIU. A VA decisión letter in 2011 mentioned I met the scheduler requirements. I’m 70, 60, 20, 20, 10, 0% now adding up to 93 points. Most recently denied TDIU 2019. If ever granted TDIU, can an attorney maybe help with back pay?

T/F "IF, a disabled veteran ON SSDI, (considered 'totally and permanently disabled'/ due to inability to attain and maintain employment mentioned) applies for IU, effective date, based upon SSA findings (aged 49-56), should (meaning IS IT 'REQUIRED') THE VA 'automatically', use the SSA records OR is my 'current' VA representative 'negligent' for NOT insuring the SSA records were used or even 'mentioned' in the HLR process for -Compensation Issue"? FYI folks (paying 33% of ANY compensation VA standard is 20% for direct payment to VA representative) @t (f) Presumptions and discharge. (1) Fees which do not exceed 20 percent of any past-due benefits awarded as defined in paragraph (h)(3) of this section shall be presumed to be reasonable if the agent or attorney provided representation that continued through the date of the decision awarding benefits. Fees which exceed 33 1/3 percent of any past-due benefits awarded shall be presumed to be unreasonable. These presumptions may be rebutted through an examination of the factors in paragraph (e) of this section establishing that there is clear and convincing evidence that a fee which does not exceed 20 percent of any past-due benefits awarded is not reasonable or that a fee which exceeds 33 1/3 percent is reasonable in a specific circumstance
