My SSDI disability lists Vision loss and multiple disabilities (Service connected ones). I do not know if that will help if vision loss (non-service) is also listed. I also got this reply from an inquiry from the VA

They are fully aware of my vision loss. The examiner for TDIU added it to my claim and I mu VSO sent a letter to remove it for consideration for Service connection. The Doctorry had ot show me where to sign on the paper for travel pay. That is how bad my vision is. I can not read anything unless is is magnified. I am using a big bagnifier to see the computer. The thing I do not understand. How could I work. Cant read normal print and cannot drive. I asked the doctor you are considering my service connected disabilities but what will you say I can do?  I cannot read or drive a car.
