Unemployability and PTSD in Veterans Disability | All You Need To Know

In this video Leah discusses the concept of individual unemployability among veterans, particularly how mental health conditions such as PTSD and depression can render a veteran unemployable and eligible for a 100% disability rating from the VA. She emphasizes the importance of understanding the VA's criteria for eligibility, which include the inability to maintain substantially gainful employment due to service-connected disabilities, and explains the process of applying for such benefits, including consulting with an accredited legal professional. Leah B also highlights the significance of supporting documentation, such as personal statements or reports from vocational assessors and psychologists, in demonstrating how mental health conditions affect workplace performance and eligibility for increased compensation.

You had a great point. 👍🏽
I would create a paper trail seeking Mental Health treatment(voice your concerns). This could allow you assistance in entering the VR&E program. 😊😊

Very helpful videos! I do have one question though; I am filing for migraines, secondary to PTSD. Should I use the buzzword “Prostrating” in my statement to the VA? Or will this raise a red flag? Thank you.

I can't focus at work because of always being tired by my insomnia cause by psychological trauma while I was in service. I was recently written up for poor performance and I feel like my boss is looking for ways to get rid of me. If I do get fired, would I be eligible for TDIU?

Do I need to get a ptsd rating first or can I apply for both unemployability and ptsd?

I had a c&p exam on 03/02/23 with va contractor QTC for an original claim with conditions of chronic kidney disease, gout, and sleep apnea secondary to anxiety which I am 50% service connected .I am also service connected for SMC K .I was given an at least likely than not for all three secondary conditions. Nine months later while waiting for claim to close I received another call from the va to have another c&p with va contractor LEH for the same indentical secondary conditions and their examiner said less likely than not on all three secondary conditions. Shouldn't the va had gone with the first examiner? I filed a HLR two months ago and waiting.for informal call.If denied I want to file a supplemental claim with you guys I'm diagnosed with all the secondary conditions. Thank you

I’m still “ employed “ by my job after an injury and I’m collecting workers comp . They told me only come back once I’m fully healed. I applied for TDIU and got denied but va increased my depression and migraines. . Can I file for TDIU ?? Need some help. My lawyer said I can’t file once I’m still on the books at work.

[rickkane]

If you get approved for TDIU can you still file a claim to raise your disability to 100 percent.?

[teegee]

Any possible guidance on letter from the Va- requesting stressor details/ medical evidence/ personal trauma event.

[Alexander-nqpc]

Will the surviving spouse continue to receive this pay once veteran is deceased?

What if you don’t stay at a job for a long period of time if you stay at a job for less than 6 months at a time because of your ptsd does the va look at your social security statement to see that you haven’t held down a job I resigned from jobs due to personal reasons I didn’t say because of my ptsd.
