Neil Woods is the president of Woods and Woods. He is an accredited VA disability attorney. Today, he is going to explain some common misconceptions about TDIU benefits.

______________________________
An award of TDIU pays the same monthly compensation as a 100% rating for the disorder in question without your conditions being rated at that level. You can apply for TDIU if you can’t work because of a service-related mental or physical medical condition or multiple service-connected conditions and their side effects.
While veterans receiving TDIU benefits can’t work full-time, certain situations allow veterans to earn income while receiving these benefits.
