Total Disability based on Individual Unemployability (TDIU) is a VA benefit that allows Veterans to receive compensation at the 100% rate if their service-connected disabilities prevent them from securing and maintaining substantially gainful employment. To qualify for TDIU, you must have one disability rated at 60% or higher, or a combined rating of 70% with one condition rated at 40% or more.
If approved, TDIU pays at the 100% compensation rate, even though your disabilities may not reach that level on the rating schedule. TDIU can be permanent in some cases, or the VA may later determine you are able to work and discontinue it. A Veterans disability attorney can help you gather evidence and present the strongest case for TDIU benefits.
