Question
Shawnkatt1
My husband received notification that the VA has approved his request for Individual Unemployability.
We know what his new monthly entitlement amount is, but I'm trying to get familiar with the other "entitlements" that are available with an Unemployability award to make sure we don't miss deadlines, and to ensure we turn in any paperwork that might be necessary, etc.
1. My understanding is that with TIU there are spousal death benefits, but I'm not finding any clear info on that.
2. His award letter mentions educational benefits - any details on those would be appreciated.
3. The award letter doesn't mention that it's a permanent award, and it doesn't mention that is not...?
Any input on the above, and any entitlements I've not mentioned, would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks everyone!

Since they awarded the DEA educational benefits-they determined he was Permanent and Total- but I hope they would make that clear in the award letter. A TDIU or 100% P& T vet's dependent are
