Can someone please help me. I'm trying to understand what exactly the VA is requesting for me in order to receive Individual Unemployability. I kind of understand that they want statements. I'm just mentally exhausted. I just got my rating of 70%. My claim started in November 2009. Just trying to fill out some of this paper work is overwhelming and exhausting. I'm just trying to make sure I get it right the first time. The last time I worked was in 2006 and for maybe about 3 months a few years later. Just couldn't stay focused. Any help or information would be greatly appreciated.

What exactly are they asking for? I know that they want dates of past employment, and I think they ask for statements if you can get them from past employers RE: the nature of your leaving the workforce.

I think that's it. I guess I'm super nervous. I remember the dates for one employer, but not the other. The problem is at both the individuals that were my supervisors no longer work there. So I'm not quite sure what to do. A few family members and friends are going to write statements. I just want everything to be done and over with. Not in an impatient way, but so I can relax my brain. Hope that makes sense.

Their HR dept can at least verify the dates for you on the form, if nothing else.

That's a great idea. Didn't think of that. I will go call now. I wonder if I will have to give a description of everything all over again. I have PTSD.

Hmmm...that I don't know. HR depts are usually pretty lean on the details, but if you can explain why you need statements from them RE your personnel file about absences, etc, they may be more amenable to providing more than just the dates of employement.
