tdiu 100% Schedular Vs 70% W/ Tdiu, And Entitlement To Dea

[SubicBay0311]

Is it correct to assume that if granted 100% scheduler for mental health conditions, the veterans children would still not be eligible for DEA until possibly 5 years later, when (and if) the condition is determined to be static and he is granted P&T? But if granted TDIU while at 70%, the dependence would immediately be eligible for DEA?

Most of the time, the RO decision will state if they are eligible for DEA chapter 35.

DEA (and CHAMPVA) depends on the P & T status of the disability.

If granted TDIU while at 70%, the dependence would immediately be eligible for DEA? This is not true, the veteran must be P & T.

As Berta said the veteran must be P & T to have CH35 DEA and CHAMP VA.
