Guest ScareCrow Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 Hello, What happens and what does one need to watch out for at a VA Vocational Assessment for TDIU, since we all know that the VA wants us to fail when applying for TDIU?

0 Guest ScareCrow Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Is anyone familiar with the VA Vocational Assessment for TDIU and how it works and what is expected and what we need to watch out for as it just looks like a way for the VA to deny TDIU?

0 HadIt.com Elder Buck52 Posted March 23, 2016 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted March 23, 2016 If your admitted to VA Voc Rehab to be retrained That's a good thing, once your there they will give you test and look at what disability you have and how bad it is if it keeps you from working or not? IF IT DOES usually your voc rehab counselor will write you a letter if he finds you unemployable due to your sc disabilities. The letter is very important EVIDENCE in getting approved for IU. If you have not been working or can't work any type of work including smedry work then check with the SSA and get your last shown work records & submit them as evidence also I assume you are SC? Then see a Dr and ask if he will write you a letter detailing your disability and why it keeps you from working including he mention or opin his assessment that its likely as not due from his military service. TDIU is one of the hardest claims to prove if you have both legs both arms and all fingers and toes. you need to have good medical evidence from MD's Stating why you can't work due to your SC Disability The VA Re Hab letter confirms this that you seek out help from the VA and your still not able to find employment because of your SC Disabilities MORE MEDICAL EVIDENCE THE BETTER AND STATEMENTS FROM FAMILY& FRIENDS TO STATE THEY BEEN AROUND YOU AND CAN VISUALLY SEE YOUR DISABILITY.

0 ArNG11 Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 With my experiences, I have never gone or been to the vocational office. I cancelled my appointment at the voc rehab office when I was laid up at the hospital with ITP. Called and cancelled the appointment several months went by and I later I was approved for a years of training. However, this last claim submission got me IU without a voc rehab blessing. My situation is a little different because I am retired through DOD but it shows it is possible to do without a voc rehab assessment. However, in stating the above, Buck is right on the money. Showing you made the attempt for retraining or rehab is solid evidence. Having a doc stating the your injuries, rather, service connected injuries and illness hinder or prevent work is a nice slap in the face to help your case for IU. flores97 1 Mr. A " FIGHT TILL YOUR LAST BREATH " Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay great, thanks for that info and congrats on the TDIU. I have several Dr docs that support my claim including a history that shows that I havent worked in years as well. So hopefully GOD willing I might be granted TDIU soon as we are struggling at the moment without it..... It would have been much easier to have just had a career in something, this situation really sucks as its just a heartbreak to not be able to fix the situation and be stuck in this category, but I will move ahead and defeat the dragon.....
