Do you currently have at least one VA service-connected disability?
TDIU must be based on limitations caused by service-connected disabilities.
What is your current combined VA disability rating?
Use the combined rating shown in your latest VA decision—not the simple total of individual ratings.
What is your highest individual service-connected rating?
Certain disabilities may sometimes be treated as one disability under VA rules. This preliminary tool does not make that technical determination.
Which best describes your current employment?
Do your service-connected disabilities prevent you from securing or following substantially gainful employment?
Consider only service-connected conditions—not age, retirement by choice, the general job market, or non-service-connected conditions.
Have these limitations been documented?
Examples include medical records, C&P exams, DBQs, employer records, attendance history, accommodations, or statements describing occupational impairment.
Which work-related problems do your service-connected conditions cause?
Select all that apply.
What this assessment considered
This educational screening does not establish entitlement to TDIU and is not a substitute for advice from a VA-accredited attorney, claims agent, or Veterans Service Organization. Valor Health provides independent medical record reviews and medical opinions only when supported by the evidence. VA makes all eligibility and benefit decisions.
Screening logic is based on the general criteria in 38 C.F.R. § 4.16 and VA’s published Individual Unemployability guidance. Rules involving combined disabilities, marginal employment, protected work environments, and extraschedular referral require individualized review.
