Do you mean an extraschedular 100% rating?

But you also stated:

“100% - 1151”

I would agree with the first statement , that TDIU is a moot issue when 100% rating has been awarded.

However, if you have a 100% Section 1151 award, for an additional disability, that is NOT a moot issue.

I won a Section 1151 claim in Jan 2012, and the VA correctly awarded the 1151 comp separately from the SC IHD AO comp, regarding my deceased husband's issues.

Part of his past award was 100% SC P & T for PTSD.

They had to pay 100% additional for 6 months under 1151 and then residuals under SMC for a 1151 stroke he had.

Section 1151 comp cannot be offset from direct SC comp.

I can dig out the regs for that but maybe I am misunderstanding this.

Can you clarify your post?

Did you FTCA them as well? Is the 1151 100% is being recouped as a FTCA offset?

They can legally offset any FTCA settlement unless the 1151 also is (or becomes) direct SC.

Is the 1151 100% ,in fact, for the same SC 100% disability?

If so there should be no offset but you might have to fight them over that ,as I did,regarding another AO claim,

with established VA case law.

We need more clarification on these issues.

You are already rated and compensated with an evaluation of 100

percent scheduler.

They are not going to rehash this and change your status to IU as that would be

redundant, moot, no longer an issue for discussion or debate.

Question: Why in the world do you want them to rate you as IU ?

Yes=that is a good point Mekon----TDIU plus 60% (not combined) for one additional separate disability-

or, as he stated, 100% under 1151 plus 60 % SC for independent disability would also warrant SMC S and vice versa-

as in the award I got in January---

Gloworm made a few posts here in the past as to FTCA/1151 issues so I hope he will clarify for us his actual rating under both SC and the 1151 claim.

Okay I think I understand now. He wrote "CURRENTLY RATED 70%, 30%, 30%,30%,10% - MILITARY SERVICE" which is = 90.739% Or did he mean 70% overall with 30%, 30%,30%,10%?

He also has a 1151 at 100%...

So if Section 1151 claims are against any veteran hospital, physician, nurse or general health care provider who has committed medical malpractice. If the VA concludes that under Section 1151 that medical negligence occurred, the affected service member receives compensation. If the service member dies during medical treatment, the veteran’s children, spouse, other family members or estate receives the benefits.

These are two different types of claims and are not related, correct? If so then I don't see how this claim would be "moot". I understand about being 100% based on the scheduler and 100% based on IU, you can't have both. Just read that in the letter I posted...

Yes. They r two separate claims. He was rated 100% on 1151. He has DSC ratings from Vietnam of 70%, 30%, 30%, 30%, 10%. He has Aid & Attendance and SMC award. Concerned about FTC claim and how this would affect any of this with offset.
