TDIU vs. 100% Schedular Rating

VA compensation benefits are generally rated on a schedule between 10 and 100, depending on the disability and degrees of disability.  However, in VA world the combination of the ratings is not a simple matter.  To most of us, 30 + 20 = 50.  in VA world, 30% + 20% = 40%.  The reason for the unique combination of ratings according to 38 C.F.R. §4.25 is that, “the consideration of the efficiency of the individual as affected first by the most disabling condition, then by the less disabling … [Read more...]
