I know the VA gives you a percentage for your disability, does the SS do the same for SSDI?
I have some non service connected disabilities that combined with what I hope to be service connected, make me TDIU as far as SS is concerned. Does the SS give a percentage for each area or part of the body that is affected by a disability or do they just make a total assessment of the disability?
In my award letter from SS, they only listed what was sufficient for award purposes, they didn't go into detail and list every item I listed, as the cause of my unemployability and the perminance of their effects.
Also I am curous if the VARO must consider TDIU even if not found to have a percentage higher than 60% since I am on record with the VARO as being awarded SSDI?
