As far as my lawyer has told me, yes! But she wanted me to get the VRE counselors' letter stating that I was unemployable! That letter is what decided my claim for TDIU! I'm currently awaiting on said letter myself to turn over to my lawyer for my case against SSD! I've been denied twice at 70%, but now at 100%. I'm currently waiting to see the judge!

Both of us should be a "shoe-in" for SSD!

Good Luck

Yes, SSDI will take the VA's determination under consideration. You should appeal the SSDI denial and NOT reapply. By reapplying you will lose your earlier claim date. I believe you have 4 yrs to appeal their denial and if your disability is mental you can get the 4 yr deadline waived.

I also got a letter from my vre, which stated I was unemployable, it helped decide my tdiu claim, thats why I reapplied for ssdi at 100%, I just hope the va and social security are in agreement, thankyou for the imput and info

I got SSD before IU. The standards for SSD are that you are totally disabled from all work for at least one year. You can't even get paid for 6 months after filing. It is a much more efficient system of evidence and appeals than the VA, but the standards are more harsh than for IU. That is why there is a cottage industry surrounding SSD judges and lawyers. Probably 75% of those who get SSD get a lawyer. With VA probably 1-2% get lawyers to get IU. Vets get VSO's and we know what they are often worth.

My advice to Members is win the claim first than address retro.
