How to Document TDIU in Veteran’s Disability Cases

There are more than 4 million individuals receiving  Veteran’s Compensation benefits . Many of these individuals are severely disabled and are unable to work. Due to the complicated rules and regulations of the Veteran’s Administration, it is hard for a deserving Veteran to receive a 100% disability rating. In order to document the  Total Disability Individual Unemployability  (38 C.F. R. Sect 4.16), many attorneys are using Vocational Experts.

The OAS  Vocational Experts assists the Veteran’s Disability Attorney  to evaluate a Veteran’s inability to secure and follow a “substantially gainful occupation” by reason of a service-connected disability. The special  Veteran’s Vocational Evaluation  consists of four parts:

The evaluation includes a transferability of skills analysis (TSA), DOT coding, skill level of claimant’s past relevant work, and local labor market research. A comprehensive Vocational Expert report written the language of the Veteran’s Administration can assist in documenting a Veteran’s Total Disability.
