Question:
How to convert/change a TDIU rating into P&T?
Jim's Reply:
The 100% Total Disability Individual Unemployability (TDIU) rating is often Permanent and Total (P & T) although it may be a temporary rating with a future exam scheduled.
I think what you're asking is probably how to convert a 100% TDIU rating to a 100% schedular rating and the answer is we don't do that. The two ratings are exactly the same other than the TDIU rated veteran isn't allowed to work at 'gainful employment'...a more or less full time job.
Veterans who want to convert from TDIU to schedular 100% ratings so they can work full time are often surprised that their TDIU rating falls to the underlying rating and they lose the 100%.
Be careful what you ask for...VA may deliver.
