A previous director of the Colorado Division of Military and Veterans Affairs wrote me six years ago to state that one reason Colorado denies TDIU veterans the state partial property tax exemption is that the state law requires a VA TOTAL DISABILITY RATING, and he explained that TDIU is somehow "only" compensation at the 100% rate and not an actual disability rating.
CDMVA hasn't made any visible effort to care for TDIU veterans the same as it cares for 100% schedular. A variety of reasons have been tossed out but as for TDIU being an actual disability,VA disagrees with CDMVA.
From Title 38, Chapter 4 (§ 4.15 Total disability ratings)
"It is the established policy of the Department of Veterans Affairs that all veterans who are unable to secure and follow a substantially gainful occupation by reason of service-connected disabilities shall be rated totally disabled"
