Its not everyone that says that   its the VA.

A veteran must be unable to maintain substantially gainful 

employment as a result of his/her service-connected disabilities.

12,400

Individual Unemployability is a part of VA’s disability compensation 

program that allows VA to pay certain veterans 

compensation at the 100% rate, even though VA has 

not rated their service-connected disabilities at the total level.

What Is the Eligibility Criteria for Individual Unemployability?

A veteran must be unable to maintain substantially gainful 

employment as a result of his/her service-connected disabilities.

Additionally, a veteran must have:

One service-connected disability ratable at 60 percent or more,

OR

Two or more service-connected disabilities, at least one 

disability ratable at 40 percent or more with a combined ratingof 70 percent or more.
