0 killemall Posted September 3, 2014 Author Share Posted September 3, 2014 Is a 50 and a 10 for a total of 60% enough for tdiu? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 killemall Posted September 3, 2014 Author Share Posted September 3, 2014 Also can anyone good at the hearing loss rating stuff verify my guess of 50% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Content Curator/HadIt.com Elder Vync Posted September 4, 2014 Content Curator/HadIt.com Elder Share Posted September 4, 2014 I am rated for tinnitus only, but wonder if the math appears wrong because the VA might consider hearing loss and tinnitus as pyramiding. If it is not clear in your award letters, you might consider calling the 1-800 number and casually ask if they can just verify your individual service connection conditions, rating percentages, and your combined rating. Hopefully someone else here with more experience on those conditions can help more than me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 killemall Posted September 4, 2014 Author Share Posted September 4, 2014 Right now Im 30% hearing loss and 10% tinitus so defiently not perimiding. They are seperate conditions of the same etoligy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 boomer2 Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 According to the calculator I have it is 50%. As far as the TDIU I thought if you were rated 40% for one thing and a total of 60% you could apply for TDIU. I may be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
