What is the big difference between schedular 100% and 100% via TDIU.
I am attaching my 3 relevant rating decisions. In January 2022 they conceded I was 40% for my legs. Last July they rated me at 100%. I had assumed because of everything I have heard about being schedular 100% and getting to 100% via TDIU, that they would say I was a schedular 100%, if indeed I was. It seems to me I am. On the VA disability calculator (and others) my different disabilites when combined equal 100% (95). I filed a request for higher-level review primarily because the dimwit issuing the decision chose to ignore the correct effective date of claim that was determined in January 2022. When I read that they had granted me TDIU, I assumed that meant that by their calculations I was not 100% schedular. I am now thinking that they grant TDIU, even if your disabilities rate 95% or higher. I complained about them doing the math wrong and they didn't say anything about weather or not I am 100% schedular. I wanted acknowledgment that I am 100% schedular because I don't trust congress and the recurrent talk about eliminating TDIU.
Am I 100% schedular + TDIU????
I am feeling somewhat embarrassed by my cognitive limitations. I didn't used to have any.
