If you’re a veteran struggling to work due to service-connected conditions, a TDIU (Total Disability based on Individual Unemployability) evaluation can help demonstrate that you are unable to maintain substantially gainful employment.
At Emerge Vocational Solutions, we review your medical records, work history, and functional limitations to provide a clear, defensible vocational opinion. This report can be used as supporting evidence in your VA disability claim or appeal.
Many veterans come to this process frustrated after months or years of trying to increase their rating without success. This evaluation helps connect the dots between your condition and your ability to work in a way the VA can clearly understand.
We review your medical records and VA documentation, including C&P exams.
We analyze how your conditions impact your ability to work consistently and reliably.
We assess whether you can perform work in the national economy.
We prepare a detailed vocational report with a clear, supported opinion.
This report is designed to align with how the VA evaluates unemployability—so your case is presented clearly and effectively.
All evaluations can be completed remotely, with secure handling of your records and information.
Evaluations are conducted by a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC) and Certified Disability Management Specialist (CDMS).
A TDIU vocational evaluation is designed for veterans who are struggling to maintain employment due to service-connected conditions. You may qualify for this type of evaluation if you have a VA disability rating of 60% or a combined rating of 70% with at least one condition rated at 40%, and your conditions prevent you from maintaining substantially gainful employment.
This service is especially valuable for veterans who are unable to hold consistent work because of physical, cognitive, or emotional limitations tied to their service. It is also a strong option for those who have already been denied TDIU benefits or are currently going through the VA appeals process and need additional supporting evidence to strengthen their claim.
Even if you are currently working, you may still qualify if your employment is not considered substantially gainful, such as part-time work, sheltered employment, or jobs where you are unable to sustain reliable performance. Many veterans find themselves in this position, where they are technically working but unable to maintain stable, competitive employment in the national economy.
If you’re unsure whether you qualify or if this evaluation would strengthen your case, start with a consultation.
You’ll get a straightforward answer, not a sales pitch.
