I have been unemployed since 2015 and when i was awared the 80% in July 2016 the DAV sent me a letter that i could apply for TDIU so i called the DAV and told them that i have not been working since Febuary 2015, i went ahead and submitted a claim for TDIU VA received my claim in July 29, 2016. I had two C&P exams done one in September 2016 and one in November 2016, the first C&P exam was a psychairatrist was at a doctors office that was set up by QTC, that doctor did my evaluation and stated that i have symptom of PTSD, and he recommened me to follow up on this, so then in November my other C&P exam was with the VA doctor there the VA doctor did the evaluation and this is what he put.

 Please comment on the effect of the Veteran's service connected
       disabilities on his or her ability to function in an occupational
       environment and describe any identified functional limitations. Please
       refrain from opining on if the veteran is unemployable or employable; 
       instead focus and reflect on the functional impairments and how these
       impairments impact occupational and employment activities.

       Comment: The veteran is able to function independently and engage in
       activities of daily living. He is able to drive an automobile and 
research
       jobs or prepare for job interviews. However, symptoms of depression and
       trauma-and stressor-related disorder would negatively impact his
       motivation. Problems sleeping and tiredness may negatively impact
       performance and productivity. Irritability may cause interpersonal
       problems on the job.
       
    NOTE: VA may request additional medical information, including additional
    examinations if necessary to complete VA's review of the Veteran's
    application.
