TDRL Question

[SeeTheLight]

Hey everyone! I was put on TDRL and have my one year eval coming up. I was told they’re looking for “stability” to make it PDRL. What exactly is “stability?”

To add: I was med boarded for anxiety and depression and I’ve been going to the VA regularly for MH appointments

 

[DNIF]

level of occupational and social impairment stability based off the same VASRD scale for your initial disability finding, along with any recent hospitalizations/medication changes.

for example, if you were rated at 50% for MDD/GAD which corresponds to 'reduced reliability and productivity', have you post-separation been holding down a 40 hours a week job? etc, you can interpolate the rest. they're just trying to see if post-separation you have a solid track record.

the determination for tdrl/pdrl depends on if they think that in the next 3 years your level of impairment could change enough to warrant an increase or decrease in ratings. if you were at 50% the board will make a call if they think that its likely in 3 years you could change to 30% or 70% etc.
