If you are rated 90% TDIU then no but if you are rated 90% TDIU P & T, then yes. What is the difference? The difference is that VAMCs dental clinic have limited dental specialist, so they try to focus on P & T veterans so they may treat a TDIU veteran for emergencies but not on a regular basis. Also, when a veteran is awarded P & T the veteran is given a VA form 21-8760 in his/her packet that explain additional benefits whereas the veteran rated TDIU is not. I have seen a VAMC dental clinic deny treatment to a TDIU veteran because he was not P & T. 21-8760 (va.gov) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Dustoff1970 Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 (edited) I have seen a VA dental clinic at a major hospital in Texas okay treatment for a vet who had no disability ratings but claimed he was "poor" in a financial way. Seems to be up to the local head of each dental clinic as to what rules he or she chooses to follow. I am glad I have been P&T TDIU and then P&T 100% for over 20 years or I would have been SOL or Xin Loy ** as was said all the time in Nam.
