Crap, I don't even want to know what that feels like, Im at like 20 in each leg/foot due to 2 fragmented discs and there are days I can't feel my toes from the midfoot forward. Makes taking steps fun, especially since I work in the basement. Ive had 3 good falls in the last 6 yrs, 1 resulted in a broken wrist and surgery. Restless leg and sleep are bad enough at 20. Yeah, VA math seems weird, but its similar to what loss actuaries use, calculating from whats 'left' after the loss, rather than just adding. That last 10-20 percent really sucks.

You know I got SSDI before I got TDIU, so there was no way I could work any how. I wanted to work but with my disabilities I just could not do it. I was only 51 years old and I had a good job. Now years later I am so disabled I can hardly walk. I did get the 100% but it took me an extra big award to go from 90% to 100%. I was not even trying but just trying to get an increase in my DMII and PN. I got an extra 80% for the PN.
