Veterans who can't do a significant amount of work may be eligible for a 100% disability rating based on unemployability, even though they could not be rated 100% disabled under the Schedule for Rating Disabilities. The VA calls this Total Disability for Individual Unemployability (TDIU).

Your rating is used to set the amount of your disability compensation, so that you are compensated for your loss in earning capacity as a result of your service to the country.Generally, less severe disabilities receive lower ratings and more severe disabilities receive higher ratings.he rating reflects the severity of your disability and is intended to reflect how much the impairment impacts your ability to work.
