Question About Percentage

[Guest HolliGreen]

Hi all, does anyone know why a veteran rated at 90% is paid at the 100% rate? Calling the CDVA would be an excercise in futility, same with the VSO. Thank you. H.G.

TDIU is the term you are looking for. The Vet is 90% Sc and is paid at the 100 pecent rate based on individual unemployability.

More information is required to answer your question. Is the 90% rating from one disability? What is the disability? Is the veteran considered unemployable?

Generally if a veteran reaches the 90% level on a schedular rating (by use of VA math the veterans disabilities add up to a TRUE 90% or greater disability not a rounded to 90% rating) the veteran can be moved to the 100% level. It would depend on what the disability/disabilities is/are and what was requested by the veteran or awarded by the VA.

Or as jstacy has just pointed out the vetran can be considered Totally Disabled based on Individual Unemployability (TDIU)

Someone tell me how the VA figures in the bilateral factor in the below listed disabilites

70% mental disorder

10% DMII

10%PN L. foot

10% PN R. foot

10% PN L. hand

10% PN R. hand.

The VA gave me 80% rating. Is that correct? Is there some website I can feed this percentages into and come up with an answer?
