Question
qwiksting
I used Ebenefits to file a TDIU claim. I tried to first file unemployability claim, but it told me I had to first open a claim for increase. So, i opened a claim for increase for ptsd. I am 70% now, but newly unemployed due to ptsd. I had to have 2 physicians statements in order to file for disability from work. I used my 2 VA docs, one was my MH doc. Both wrote I was unemployable due to my SC ptsd, said VOC rehab is a no go. I uploaded those two records, along with a statement from my employer indicating my difficulties at work and also va forms 21-4192 and form va 21-8940 in support of my claim. I did this yesterday and it asked me at the end of the claim if I wanted to do FDC or not. I checked yes for FDC and submitted it. My question is, now do I file the unemployability claim on ebenefits ?? I am confused. Are you supposed to do both or just the one for an increase ...ptsd with secondary unemployability?
