tdiu Return-to-work Program Denied

[darkhorse]

Hello,

I just received a letter today denying Voc Rehab because of the severity of my mental disability but I was granted Individualized Independent Services.

She also stated she sent a letter to VA claims adjudication informing them I didn't qualify for Voc Rehab due to mental illness.

Question number 1 is: Has anyone here have any experience with this program (independent living services)?

Question 2: Will this help with my TDIU claim?

Thanks for any comments,

I would think this would help with your claim....make sure this info gets to your VARO, don't assume that they will have it. But I try not to guess anything that the VA does...

This should be a major factor in your IU claim.

I suspect it will be decided quickly.

Sorry that you qualify for IL. I do also but it should be a major boost to your claim

Thanks Pete, I tried school but had to stop since depression and anxiety took over and I couldn't concentrate in class. Missed classes too.

I have had experience with ILS. In my case is was a joke. You might be able to get a computer out of it. It is really just a pretend sort of program. The letter from Voc Rehab saying you don't qualify is good evidence for IU. I did that also before I got IU. I was still working for the post office and looking for a way out, but voc rehab had nothing to offer me due to my age and disabilites.
