⚖️

Veterans and the attorneys who represent them

For Veterans

Pursuing TDIU benefits

If you've been denied TDIU — or if your service-connected conditions are preventing you from working — a vocational assessment provides the independent analysis the VA often lacks.

We review your medical records and work history, conduct a structured interview, and deliver a clear opinion on whether your conditions erode the job base enough to warrant TDIU.

For Attorneys

Building stronger TDIU claims

When the VA denies TDIU on employability grounds, an independent vocational opinion provides the methodologically defensible analysis to rebut that conclusion at BVA or CAVC.

Our reports are formatted for legal use: clear conclusions upfront, step-by-step methodology, and all occupational sources cited. Flat fee, reliable turnaround, hearing testimony available.

Common Questions

Frequently asked questions

No. This is a vocational opinion focused on employability and job demands — not diagnosis. We take the service-connected conditions as established and analyze what those limitations mean in terms of the veteran's ability to perform work in the national economy.
Yes. Expert testimony is available for BVA hearings and other proceedings. Testimony fees are quoted separately from the standard assessment fee.
Standard delivery is 5–7 business days from the completion of the vocational interview. Rush delivery is available — contact us to discuss your deadline.
Typically we need the VA rating decision(s), service medical records, relevant private treatment notes, and a work/education history. We'll send a specific intake checklist after your case fit check.
Assessments are performed by an independent vocational specialist with specific expertise in TDIU claims. Our practice is narrowly focused on this niche, which means higher consistency and clarity in every report.
Client Outcomes

What clients say

Results from veterans and attorneys who have used our vocational assessments.

★★★★★

"After two TDIU denials, my attorney recommended a vocational assessment. The report laid out exactly why my back injury and PTSD combined to eliminate the jobs I'd held for 20 years. The VA granted TDIU within 60 days of submission."

— M.R., Army Veteran
70% combined rating, granted TDIU
★★★★★

"I've used several vocational experts over the years. The reports here are formatted the way BVA judges actually want to read them — clear conclusion up front, methodology you can follow, sources cited. My last three BVA submissions with these opinions all resulted in grants."

— VA Disability Attorney
Veterans law practice, Southeast region
★★★★★

"The vocational interview was thorough but not overwhelming. They explained every step, and the report arrived in five days. My VSO said it was the most detailed employability analysis she'd seen submitted to the VA."

— D.T., Marine Corps Veteran
TDIU granted at 80% combined rating
