I want to appeal for TDIU; can I do that?

Veterans who can no longer work from a service-connected impairment may be eligible for Total Disability Individual Unemployability (TDIU) benefits. The Veterans Administration offers TDIU benefits as a safety net for veterans who can’t work. TDIU benefits are available to veterans who served active duty at one point in their military career.

How do VA Disability ratings work?

When you are a veteran with a disability, the Veterans Administration uses a rating scale that determines how much money you get. You will be given a percentage of 0-100 in increments of 10%. That VA Disability rating will determine how much money you receive from the Veterans Administration. But remember, two 50 percent ratings do not equal a 100 percent VA Disability rating. You are going to have to refer to the combined ratings table to understand your final rating.

Can I appeal a low-rating from the VA?

Yes! Many veterans receive low-ratings from the Veterans Administration. You don’t have to accept the VA’s low-rating. Appealing a low-rating means that you think you should have received a higher rating on an impairment or several impairments. Lots of veterans receive a 0% rating which means the VA considers the impairment service-connected but not significant enough for compensation.
