Total and Permanent Disability VA, also known as 100 percent P&T, applies to veterans whose disabilities are Total AND Permanent.

Many veterans mistakenly interchange “Permanent” and “Total,” when they have very different meanings.

PERMANENT - The VA deems a disability “Permanent” when it is reasonably certain, based upon medical evidence, that the level of impairment will continue for the rest of the veteran’s life.

In this instance, the VA can take age into consideration when determining whether a disability is permanent.

Thus, it can be more difficult for younger veterans, typically under 55 years old, to be considered permanently disabled.

TOTAL - Total is considered to exist when there is the presence of an impairment of mind or body, which is sufficient to render it impossible for the average person to hold what is considered substantially gainful employment.

TOTAL & PERMANENT DISABILITY - Permanence of total disability will be taken to exist when such impairment is reasonably certain to continue throughout the life of the disabled person.

HOW TO CHECK P&T STATUS?

1) The only way to know for sure is to review your VA Rating Decision Letter, which is mailed to you in a yellow enveloped via regular US mail.

2) You can also review your VA Benefits Summary letter by logging into your eBenefits account.

CAN YOU APPLY FOR 100% P&T?

While you don’t really apply for P&T, there are some steps you can take to secure Permanent and Total Disability status.

If you have a 100 percent VA disability rating and believe your level of impairment is reasonably certain to continue throughout your life, you can write a letter to your VA Regional Office requesting a permanent VA rating.

With a P&T letter, you should include medical evidence (like treatment records) showing that your medical condition cannot be expected to improve in the future.

You may be able to obtain a VA permanent disability letter from your doctor as well, which highlights in their medical opinion, whether your disabilities are likely to improve in the future.

You can also open a new claim inside eBenefits or VA.gov and type the disability of “Request for 100% Permanent and Total VA Disability” and upload medical evidence, buddy letters, and a letter from a doctor.
