I personally don't see how you can work and be rated 100%for a Mh issue; however, I personally know an individual who is rated 100% for a mental condition PTSD/bipolar and works a full-time job. I know this to be true because I have seen the letter issued by VA. How can that be?? Claim was decided in less than 3 months. My husband is receiving SSD for MH issue. SSD evidence was submitted and even had his psych fill out his DBQs for PTSD/MDD along with a formal letter stating that he cannot work and still cannot get the VA to it knowledge his evidence. Still fighting after 5yrs. Go figure.

Thank you John. His SSA award was based solely on PTSD MDD TBI and headaches. I did submit his Social Security documentation on his original claim back into 2011 and SSA documentation was also submitted on his IU claim back in Dec 2012. I have an appeal on original claim and an appeal for the IU and resubmitted the Social Security documentation again for both claims.

My husband is retired and is currently receiving SS disability for his PTSD/MDD/TBI/headaches. Applied for IU and it was denied. I don't understand how the IU was denied when he can't work and was found unemployable by Social Security for his service connected disabilities? VA's denial letter did not reflect SSA documents that were sent in. My husband was found unfit for active-duty. He went before a PEB but because he was retirement eligible they did not approve a med retirement. VA awarded him PTST/MDD/TBI 50% and 30 for headaches and a few other issues for combine rate of 90. Any advice for IU appeal?
