90% to 100% TU Question

I can't answer the rest of that right now, but as for the TBI- do you have a TBI event/events in your STR? That's the first thing, with regards to that. 

Do you plan on working in the future?  Is so try for the 100%.  If not you can go for TDIU which with your 90% is probably much easier.  I had 90% TDIU for almost 20 years.  I just got 100% recently.  Big deal because I am not going back to work any way.

YOU WERE ONCE 90% WITH  TDIU?  

AND 20 YEARS LATER YOU MUST FILE ON ANOTHER CLAIM SEPERATE FROM YOUR TDIU. 

OK MY QUESTION TO YOU IS

HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT YOUR RATING IS 100% NOW?

BEING RATING ON 90% TDIU  P&T IS BASICLY CONCIDER TO BE 100%  WE GET THE SAME BENEFITS AS A 100% VET.  AND THE EXTRA BENEFIT FOR BEING P&T

I AM 90%TDIU P&T FOR 13 YEARS AND FILED A SEPERATE & DISTINK CLAIM IN 2015  SEPERATE  FROM MY ORIGINAL TDIU DISABILITY'S

And they say NOW I HAVE A FINAL DEGREE 100% now with the SMC S HOUSEBOUND...BUT I NEVER GOT A LETTER STATING I AM 100% AND COULD GO BACK TO WORK IF I choose to..... Question  Did you get a 100% award letter making your TDIU MOOT?

 I THINK MY RATING IS STILL 90% TDIU  W/SMC S....SO MY MAIN DISABILITY WOULD STILL BE MY ORIGINAL DISABILITY  90% TDIU.

IT SAYS ON EBENEFITS I have a full 100% degree rating  with SMC S.

BUT IF I WENT BACK TO WORK AND A YEAR LATER THEY CHECK WITH SSA...THEY COULD PULL MY TDIU  AND JUST GIVE ME THE SEPERATE.

&DISTINK RATING THAT I FILED ON    DATING BACK TO 2015

I GET MY 20 YEAR CONCURRENT RATING NEXT YEAR  SUPPOSED TO BE PROTECTED.

Did you ever get told you have eligibility for Chap 35 Dependant Educational Assistance, or does that show up under your other benefits on Ebenefits or VA.gov? Your award letter with TDIU would still say 90% and "you are being paid at the 100% rate due to being unemployable....." or something like that. I don't have one in front of me, and Im not IU so my letter says differently. 

BROKENSOLIDER244TH SAID

''Did you ever get told you have eligibility for Chap 35 Dependant Educational Assistance''=YES WHEN I GOT THE TDIU P&T IN 2002.

''Your award letter with TDIU would still say 90% and "you are being paid at the 100% rate due to being unemployable....." or something like that''.  YES IT DOES.

IT WAS 2015 I FILED A SEPERATE & DISTANK CLAIM    AND THIS IS WHEN MY RATING CHANGE TO THE FINAL 100% DEGREE RATING   WITH THE SMC S Housbound award...THE RATER HAD TO AWARD THE SMC S.  AND HE GOT IT RIGHT.

but my point is  until a veteran gets a letter from his R.O. STATING HIS TDIU P&T IS MOOT  AND YOU NOW HAVE A FINAL 100% DEGREE RATING..AND THIS VETERAN CAN GO BACK TO WORK IF HE /SHE IS ABLE  OR WANTS TO NEEDS TO...WITHOUT A PROPOSAL TO REDUCE...WITHOUT THAT LETTER  THIS VETERAN IS TAKING A BIG CHANCE ON BEING SENT A PROPOSAL TO REDUCE  IF HE CHOOSES TO GO BACK TO WORK..NOW AFTER 20 YEARS  i am not sure what they would do.

but better safe than sorry......right now if they took my TDIU AWAY  THE WHOLE 90%  THAT WOULD JUST LEAVE MY SEPERATE AND DISTANK CLAIM (CHRONIC PTSD) 70%   AND I'D LOSE EVERYTHING i STILL MAKE PAYMENTS ON.
