To be eligible for the TDIU benefit requires that we have a single rating of 60% or more, or multiple ratings that add to 70% or more.
Your ratings are 30% + 20% + 20% + 20% + 10% + 10% + 10% + 10%. Using VA math , we add 'em up like this:
30 + 20 = 44
44 + 20 = 55
55 + 20 = 64
64 + 10 = 68
68 + 10 = 74
74 + 10 = 77
77 + 10 = 79
We round up the 79 to 80% disabled as your overall rating. You are eligible to apply for TDIU. Read more here .
