2 · Work & income

Combined rating—
Single condition 60%+?—
Combined 70%+ with one 40%+?—

File TDIU with VA Form 21-8940. We can prepare the packet and the work-impact statement.

Screener only — not a determination. TDIU eligibility (38 CFR 4.16) turns on whether service-connected disabilities prevent "substantially gainful employment," judged on your individual facts. "Marginal employment" (earnings below the federal poverty threshold) does not disqualify you. Even below the schedular thresholds, TDIU can be granted on an extraschedular basis (4.16(b)). Confirm with a VA-accredited representative or VSO. US Vet Help is not affiliated with the VA and does not file claims.
