How do you reach 100% scheduler ratting. Do you have to apply for it somehow?

Iu is based on the collective picture and how it affects you outside of the normal ratings schedule so if one of your disabilities stabilizes it could be rated higher or lower then the amount that would get you collectively rated 100%.

I have two Questions. How do you reach 100% scheduler ratting. Do you have to apply for it somehow? I know its a combination of 70 + 60 +40 to get there does the VA bean counter juts award you it?  The second question is how do you get the VA to move you from 100% TD to 100% scheduler ratting.

70+60+40 only comes out to about 93 on the combined rating chart and that is good enough to get TDIU, but the VA would round down to a total of a combined 90%. In order for a veteran to get a combined 100% scheduler rating, the veteran must reach at least a 95 in order for the VA to round up to a combined 100% scheduler.

70+60=88, 88+40=93 then the VA rounds down to a combined 90%. If my VA math is off please correct me. To get to a combined 100%, file new and completely separate claims. Based on your post, the veteran would need an additional separate 30%.

1.  "How do you reach 100 percent schedular rating?  

First, you need to meet the applicable criteria, file for an increase, and then keep appealing it until you win.  

2. If you are TDIU, then its difficult to get VA to award 100 percent AND tdiu, but possible.  Im one of the rare few who did so.  When I was awareded 100 percent, the said TDIU was moot.  I appealed, arguing it was not because, a). it may mean an EED, and b) It made me eligible for SMC S (100 plus 60, statuatory SMC S).  

     With all this said, my question is why you would want to do this "unless" you could get additional compensation, such as SMC, or an EED.  If those are not real possibilities, it may not be worth it for you to persue 100 percent if you are already tdiu.  

 Great information from the other members   here's my 2 cents.

I have two Questions. How do you reach 100% scheduler ratting. 

Apply for increase if your original service connected disability has got worse.  you need a Qualified Dr Medical opinion to state so,  not knowing you current r S.C. % IF YOUR AT 90% with or without TDIU  you will need an additional 50% rating to cover the 100% scheduler  depending on your severity of your condition rather or not they will give you the P& T with the 100%   meaning your service connected condition will not improve within your life time

Once your approved for the TDIU and you file another separate condition from other of original condition and get a 60% rating  then that will get you the SMC S Housebound   another 370.00 monthly added in to your TDIU .

 Do you have to apply for it somehow?  YES   With the exception of the TDIU    YOU NEED TO APPLY FOR IT UNLESS  YOUR DR SAYS YOU CAN'T WORK DUE TO YOUR MILITARY DISABILITY THEN THEY SHOULD APPLY THE TDIU FOR YOU   SOMETIMES THEY DON'T DO THAT.

I know its a combination of 70 + 60 +40 to get there does the VA bean counter juts award you it?  The second question is how do you get the VA to move you from 100% TD to 100% scheduler ratting.

no the va bean counters never give us anything  we have to fight for it and never give up.

I wish you the best outcome.

To give you a better example

I was 90% combined rating  and was given the TDIU P&T due to my condition will never improve in my life time and could no longer work,  ok I was getting paid at the 100% rate  including all the extra benefits of a 100%  P&T Veteran would get.

Now a Few years later I applied for another condition that was separate from my original service connected condition, I was awarded a 70% rating for this new separate condition and they have a mandatory duty to award the SMC S Housebound, another 370.00 plus some change extra a month added  in on my 100% P&T payment.
