Every assessment follows the same structured methodology, so you know what to expect at each step.
Before anything else, request a case fit check using the contact form. We review the basic facts — your current ratings, the nature of your claim, and what records are available — and confirm whether a vocational assessment is likely to be useful. This step is free and requires no commitment.
Once we confirm the case is a good fit, we send a secure intake link. You'll submit VA rating decisions, relevant medical records, and a work/education history. We'll identify any gaps and follow up if additional records would strengthen the assessment.
We review the full record before the interview. We're specifically looking at what functional limitations are already established: pain levels, range of motion restrictions, fatigue, cognitive impacts, medication side effects, and accommodations the veteran currently requires.
A structured interview covers the veteran's functional capacity in detail — how conditions affect daily activities, sustained standing and sitting, concentration, pace, and attendance. We also review the full work history to establish transferable skills and past relevant work classifications under the DOT.
Using DOT job classifications, O*NET functional data, and current labor market statistics, we analyze whether the veteran's residual functional capacity — combined with their age, education, and work history — allows for competitive employment in the national economy. We assess job base erosion directly against the VA's substantially gainful employment standard.
The written report states a clear conclusion upfront, explains methodology step by step, cites all occupational and labor market sources, and is formatted for submission to VA, BVA, or CAVC. Delivered within 5–7 business days of the completed interview. Rush delivery is available.
Vocational opinions are only as useful as their methodology. An opinion that states a conclusion without showing its work is easy for the VA or a BVA judge to dismiss. An opinion that names jobs, cites DOT codes, references functional demand data, and walks through its reasoning step by step is far harder to set aside.
Every TDIU Vocational Services report is built to withstand scrutiny. We explain what records we reviewed, what functional limitations we identified, which occupations we evaluated, why they do or don't fall within the veteran's residual functional capacity, and what the current labor market looks like for those positions.
Our practice is narrowly focused on TDIU vocational opinions. That focus means our methodology is refined for exactly this type of claim — not adapted from a broader vocational rehabilitation practice.
