Question:
Hello Jim I'm rated 100% p & t tdiu. I am rated at 90% with combined ratings on the schedular should I pursue 100% rating on scheduler. Thanks Jim

I'll ask you...why would you do that? You're 100% P & T already. So you want to pursue a 100% P & T rating? That you already have?
No, there is no reason to pursue a schedular rating. The ratings are exactly the same in all ways other than the TDIU veteran isn't allowed to pursue gainful employment. If your goal is to hold a 100% schedular rating so that you are able to work, it's likely that you'll give up the TDIU benefit and keep the 90% rating so you can work.
Be careful what you ask VA for...they sometimes surprise you.
