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.

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 am not really sure sir but your lawyer probably has a good grasp on your case. Best of luck
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.

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.

Yes, VA will go to SSA to look at your statement. I'm doing TDUI and I submitted my SSA statement to VA to show I have not worked since 2002. TDUI takes a while for VA to complete.
