Take a long look at your award letter and see if it says anything about your total rating. As others have mentioned TDIU is a condition were the VA pays you at 100% but your total rating is below that and because you can not work it is granted.

If you still have a problem or confused call the 800-827-1000 call center and ask for clarification from your RO. You may very well be 100% scheduler and the VA mistyped.

if you don't mind list your %'s for all your disabilities.

Good Luck to you!

THANKS TO ALL

I am not sure what you mean but if you are working now you should not get TDIU. If you are working you can be 100% another but you have to meet rigid criteria.

I have noticed that alot of Vets are trying to aquire this TDIU thing...

Whart are the Benefits Good and Bad....
