HadIt.com Elder Chuck75 Posted October 18, 2012 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted October 18, 2012 (edited) Now, the remaining question is the difference between paying 90% or 100% compensation. If the EDD for the 90% involves retro, you should investigate claiming TDIU back to the EDD, likely via an NOD. The VA is required by law to automatically consider TDIU, but often does not. I never did figure out how they manage to do this, other than the law language is vague as to what the "consideration" actually amounts to. When you get and understand the VA's jargon in the award letters, etc., it may be that they actually did decide to pay at the 100% rate.
