If the veteran's disability prevents him or her from working, the veteran
can put in a claim for TDIU benefits. The veteran must be a recipient
of service-connected compensation disability benefits. There must be proof
from a medical expert or a vocational expert that the veteran's service-connected
disability and only the service-connected disability is preventing the
Veteran from maintaining gainful employment. This is a more complicated
area of the law, and we would encourage you to speak with one of our attorneys
about what it takes to establish benefits for TDIU.
