Question:

I was just given the letter that I was totally and permanently disabled due solely to your service-connected disabilities. I was previously at 90% and the increased total of everything went up between 80-100% more, I think its at like 240 or 260% total.  My question is, am I still allowed to work? I don't see anything in the letter that says individual unemployability. Can you give insight to this?  I have a decent paying job and do not want to do the wrong thing. Thanks for your insight and help.

If there is no reference to the TDIU (unemployability) benefit it's safe to assume that you're rated as 100% by The Schedule and you are allowed to work as you're able to.
