TDIU Eligibility Checker
Total Disability based on Individual Unemployability (TDIU) can pay at the 100 percent rate even when your combined rating is lower, if service-connected disabilities prevent you from holding steady work. Check the schedular thresholds.

How TDIU works
Under 38 CFR 4.16, you generally meet the schedular threshold if you have one disability rated at least 60 percent, or a combined rating of at least 70 percent with at least one disability at 40 percent or more. Meeting the threshold is only the first step: you must also show the disabilities prevent substantially gainful employment. Veterans who fall short of the numbers can still be considered on an extraschedular basis. If approved, TDIU pays at the 100 percent rate. Our disability calculator can show your combined rating, and the claim guide covers the evidence involved.
