If any of us do hit the 20 year mark being TDIU for that entire 20 years then I assume your TDIU rating becomes permanent and untouchable. Does this mean the VA just grants you a permanent rate of 100% or a permanent rate of TDIU? I sure won't be young enough
to go out and start working as I will be 71 years old when I get 20 years at TDIU. However, according to what I understand I could go get a job if I wanted to and nothing the VA could do about it. I just wish the VA would convert all of us P&T TDIU vets to straight 100% so we would not have periodic scares regarding having TDIU taken away when we reach full retirement age.

The crazy one here, John after that 20 years go by I doubt very seriously that any of you TDIU guys would even consider going back to the work force. IMHO, your mind set would be that you do not have

Hello John, I was rated 100% TDIU in 1980 (60% w/single disability) and SSDI when I was 32 years old. It became P&T in 1985. Hence, my 20 yr. protection date was 16 years ago in 2000. Aft
