We often refer to Individual Unemployability as TDIU or IU. The Individual Unemployability Benefit is equal in every way to a 100% Schedular rating. The compensation is 100% and that dollar amount is equal to both ratings. If the veteran is rated as 100% Schedular, he or she may work at any job they are capable of doing. The veteran who is rated as IU may not hold "gainful employment".
The IU veteran is required to complete a yearly VA Form 21-4140 to verify that there has been no employment in the previous year. Each Regional Office seems to have its own way of delivering these forms, all too often they don't deliver them at all. It is the veterans responsibility to ensure that the 4140 is completed and mailed in on or about the anniversary of the award each year. The veteran should download the form, print it and mail it in using certified mail, return receipt requested. Either the 100% Schedular rating or the 100% IU rating may be rated as Permanent and Total (P&T). Either rating may be a temporary one with future examinations scheduled. -----Original Message----- From: LRS Scout [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, June 01, 2014 7:29 PM To: cf-community Subject: RE: So this is why the GOP is backing off healthcare reform as a platform... http://www.vawatchdog.org/tdiu-unemployability.html On Jun 1, 2014 8:28 PM, "LRS Scout" <[email protected]> wrote: > http://www.vawatchdog.org/fiduciary-appointments.html > On Jun 1, 2014 8:23 PM, "LRS Scout" <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Seriously Eric, look into the fiduciary program and VA unemployability. >> >> Everything I said is 100% true.
