ptsd Benefit Of Tdiu If I'm Already 100% P&t Schedular?

[Inthewind]

I've searched for a couple hours and can't find anything related to the difference between a 100% P&T schedular rating and TDIU. Isn't the compensation the same?

A couple of people said I should be TDIU due to my 70% PTSD/depression, but I'm already 100% P&T, so what would be the difference/benefit other than reduced income from not working?

Nothing.

It is impossible to get IU if schedular.

Iu is an ancillary benefit to people who are rated less than 100 percent but cant work because of their SC disabilities.

If a person has IU and is 70 percent, they are still 70 percent.

With a 100 percent schedular P andf T rating, A vet can work if he wants to.

He can work, provided he's not 100% for PTSD or some other psychiatric disorder.

Thanks for the comment, Phillip. If a person is 70% psychatric for GAD and applies for TDIU based on that, would the 100% TDIU rating prevent him from working? Or are you speaking of a 100% schedular rating for the psych disorder?

I have read on this board where there are problems with having a 100% SC rating and also getting TDIU,What are the problems?

You can not be both - 100% schedular and IU.
