tdiu Commissary & Exchange Privileges

How do I know if I am eligible for this benefit?

Received package and sent off request. Got letter indicating I'm not a 100% except by TDIU. I thought that counted also. If not, that would be reason to continue filing for additional benefits. So, I was sent paperwork for ChampVA and everything else for no reason...confused?

Do you get this benefit if you are 100% due to TDIU award?

[Philip Rogers]

Yup, you generally get it when you have no future exams. If you get ChampVA you can get your card.

Thanks, PR.

Why the hassle with the VARO? Could it be that system was not updated to reflect 100%? I don't know...sent IRIS a bit ago...will see what happens now. But thanks again for your reply.

You have to be 100 percent permanent and total. It is a MWR card DD form 2765.

IU counts as long as it is permanent and total.

You need toe VA to send you a letter stating your status and take it to the nearest ID card issuing location. Uaually a Base or NG, or reserve center.

Did you aweard letter say no further exams scheduled?

That is usually the key word.

TDIU and P&T are two different things. Read your award letter very carefully.

Oooops, I just saw where this has been posted & answered on another post. Perhaps someone could combine the two.
