Question
Bhut
Hello guys,
Have a question, I tried to call the 800 number at the VA today but never got called back. I was recently awarded TDIU benefits, I am rated at 80%. I received a letter today stating that I was awarded TDIU benefits with the effective date of June 2017. It says that I am considered to be permanently and totally disabled. It also states that my dependents are eligible for Chapter 35 educational benefits. I thought you had to be 100% for dependents to be eligible for educational benefits? If so this is great, my wife is currently in nursing school and we already owe about 25k and she still has a year before she graduates. If anyone can clarify this it would be much appreciated. Thanks.

TDIU awardees receive all the same benefits as someone with a 100% disability. This includes chapter 35 benefits...so yes, your wife qualifies. If your effective date does in fact go back to 2017, so

No. You dont have a year to appeal a board decision. 120 days: Source: https://cck-law.com/veterans-law/what-is-the-process-in-a-cavc-or-veterans-court-appeal/
