Veterans can receive a 100% disability rating from the VA in several different ways, each with its own requirements and benefits. The most common are 100% schedular, 100% permanent and total (P&T), and Total Disability based on Individual Unemployability (TDIU or IU).
TDIU is for Veterans who can't work due to service-connected disabilities, even if their combined rating is less than 100%. It can be revoked if the Veteran becomes employable. A 100% schedular rating means the disabilities add up to 100%, but employment is still allowed. 100% P&T ratings are protected from being reduced and come with additional benefits for dependents.
All 100% disabled Veterans qualify for Priority Group 1 VA healthcare, which covers many services with no copays. They may also be eligible for state tax breaks, vehicle registration fee waivers, VA insurance, grants for home modifications, and special monthly compensation for specific disabilities.
