Dear Jim,
I hope all is well with you, I recently was increased from 30% to 50% for PTSD going back 6 years. I was then awarded 70% for PTSD effective the date of the exam 2/2013, I am also service connected 30% for my jaw and another 30% for facial scars. my question is with a 130% schedular rating can I still be gainfully employed or should I seek TDIU?
Thanks for your help
Reply,
You aren't rated at 130%. That may be the total of your ratings but VA doesn't add it up that way. VA uses the Combined Ratings Table (CRT).
