Lipohypertrophy is a medical term that refers to a lump under the skin caused by accumulation of extra fat at the site of many subcutaneous injections of insulin. It may be unsightly, mildly painful, and may change the timing or completeness of insulin action.
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).
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) defines individual unemployability as being a part of the overall disability compensation program that allows VA to pay certain veterans disability compensation at the 100% rate even though the VA has not rated the overall veterans service connected disabilities at 100% by the statutory rating scale.
