    What’s the difference between TDIU and 100 percent?

    Can a veteran with a 100 percent schedular rating get TDIU?

    For veterans who do not have a 100 percent schedular rating, but are disabled to the point that they are unable to obtain and maintain substantially gainful employment, TDIU presents another option to receive compensation at the 100 percent amount. To qualify for TDIU, you must be unemployable.

    What’s the difference between a 90% and 100% disability rating?

    Here’s one of the biggest secrets in VA law: many veterans with a 90% rating should actually be receiving a 100% VA disability rating. The VA may have incorrectly rated many veterans with a 90% rating. Did you know the difference between a 90% rating and a 100% rating is over $1,000 a month?

    What does it mean to be 100 percent disabled by the VA?
