    Check that the urgent care you go to is on the VA's approved list. Every veteran gets to use urgent care 3 times a year. When you get there, tell the front desk you're using one of your urgent care visits. They should call the VA right away to check if your visit is covered.

    question Can I still apply for TDIU after initially declining and being denied SSDI?

    It doesn't matter to the VA that you were denied SSDI, and Social Security isn't concerned about your previous refusal of TDIU. If you qualify for either benefit from either agency, you'll be approved.
