Any Veteran applying for TDIU, OR, any veteran that was denied IU...I cannot express enough the importance of using the Vocational Rehab opportunity to get there opinion. Long story short. I personally found out about the Feasibility Letter and obtained one and filed for TDIU. 6 months later approved. As long a the veteran has the SC 5 to apply for TDIU then Please get that VR opinion. I also enclosed a writing about the importance of a Vocational Expert opinion.
BEST EVIDENCE TO PROVE INDIVIDUAL UNEMPLOYABILITY
When it comes to proving to the VA that the veteran is eligible for individual unemployability, that is if the veteran is found to have met the rating threshold and employment criteria mentioned above, the best evidence is a professional opinion from a vocational expert or competent medical doctor concerning the veteran’s ability to secure or follow a substantially gainful occupation. The VA often times schedules a veteran for a C&P exam to get an opinion on IU. This report should include a rationale as to whether it is as likely as not (50/50 chance) that the service-connected disability or combined disabilities render the veteran unable to secure and maintain substantially gainful employment. Additionally, the report should also include and describe the functional impairment caused by the veteran’s disabilities and how that impairment impacts on physical and sedentary employment. Other evidence to support unemployability may include employment history, employer records, and any medical evidence that indicates that the veteran is totally disabled and unemployable.
