When Your TDIU Claim Hits Resistance, We're the Reinforcements
VA Disability TDIU Assistance
Unfortunately, the VA often denies TDIU claims because they fail to understand how your condition impacts your ability to work. That’s where we come in. We focus on TDIU appeals—building strong, evidence-based cases by reviewing your VA file, gathering medical and vocational documentation, and developing persuasive legal arguments. When needed, we also work with vocational experts to further support your inability to maintain gainful employment.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is TDIU?
TDIU (Total Disability based on Individual Unemployability) allows veterans with service-connected disabilities to receive compensation at the 100% rate if they’re unable to maintain substantially gainful employment. Claims are often denied when the VA doesn’t fully understand how your condition affects your ability to work.
Do I need a specific VA rating to get TDIU?
Yes. In most cases, you need one condition rated at 60% or higher, or two or more conditions with a combined rating of 70%, including one rated at least 40%. That said, there are exceptions—and we can help you better understand where your case stands.
Can I still qualify for TDIU if I work part-time?
Yes. To qualify, your employment must be considered “marginal”—meaning your earnings stay below the federal poverty threshold. You may also qualify if you work in a protected environment, such as a family business or a job with special accommodations.
Why would a TDIU claim be denied?
TDIU claims are typically denied when the VA doesn’t fully understand how your condition affects your ability to work. This is often a result of missing evidence, an incomplete or inaccurate C&P exam, or a misinterpretation of how your condition limits your ability to work.
What kinds of evidence can help with a TDIU appeal?
Compelling evidence can make a big difference in your TDIU appeal. Examples of strong supporting evidence include:
- Updated treatment records that show the severity of your condition
- A statement from your doctor explaining why your condition prevents you from working
- Employment records showing that you’ve been unable to maintain substantially gainful employment
- Lay statements from family, friends, or former coworkers describing how your disability affects your ability to work
What is a vocational expert?
A vocational expert is a specialist trained to assess how your disabilities impact your ability to work. At Freedom Claims Agency, we partner with certified vocational professionals who prepare detailed reports to strengthen your TDIU appeal.
