100% Unemployability, I applied for the 100% and was told “Entitlement to individual unemployability is denied because the claimant has not been found unable to secure or follow a substantially gainful occupation as a result of service connected disabilities. Service connected disabilities currently evaluated, as 60% do not meet the scheduler requirements for entitlement to individual unemployability”. Then it goes on to explain the 60% for one or 70% combo rule. I’ve been out of work for a year. I had to take my SS early and put a reverse mortgage on the house to make ends meet. Since then I was connected with the 50%, “Major Depressive Disorder (Claimed as post traumatic stress disorder, sleep disorder and night sweats)” and 10% tinnitus. The 60% rating does indeed help. Recently my VA doctor sign the Handicap application for parking and the state of Ca. granted me the handicap card. I doctor stated “LBP + RT Hip pain sciatica + DJD” When he call to tell me about the x-rays he said “severe arthritis of the lower back” Should I re-file for 100% unemployability and if so how should I go about it? Can someone tell me what LBP and DJD means? bill
