If you believe you qualify, complete, sign, and return the enclosed VA Form 21-8940, Veterans Application for Increased Compensation Based on Unemployability.I'm not sure what it all means. Until I get the paperwork in the mail. Lets just hope they work in my favor some more.The VA themselves initiated the unemployability. Ill start searching through the info here to see what I do with it when I get it :)The only real issue I have here is the seizures should be at 100% by themselves and I will file for that.Thanks everyone for the information that I have found on this site, I recommend everyone that's looks here and gathers info here become a member and support it so its here for the next guy that's in trouble. I am still not finished but it looks like I won the battler, just need to finish a few skirmishes. Thanks again for your info and the advice I found on the site.Wes1 flores97 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks again for your info and the advice I found on the site.Wes1 The form is athttp://www.vba.va.gov/pubs/forms/VBA-21-8940-ARE.pdfThe VA would like you to identify "which disability" is preventing you from working. The law requires them to consider the total disabilities combined, when they are service connected.The form also has questions related to income that seem to be more oriented towards pension than TDIU. But the answers can be used as they are related to employment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
