TDIU Application Process: How OAS Helps Every Step of the Wa

Navigating a TDIU claim can feel overwhelming. OAS provides guidance and support throughout the entire process:

Step 1: Filing the TDIU Claim

Veterans begin by submitting VA Form 21-8940, stating how their service-connected conditions prevent them from working. OAS assists by supplying supporting vocational evaluations early in the process.

Step 2: Gathering and Reviewing Evidence

OAS works alongside veterans and their attorneys to collect medical records, employment history, and functional capacity information. They then analyze how these factors impact work ability.

Step 3: Preparing a Strong Vocational Report

OAS prepares a professional, well-organized report outlining why the veteran is unemployable in any substantial occupation.

Step 4: Supporting the VA Review Process

When the VA evaluates the claim, having a detailed vocational report from OAS helps ensure the decision-makers have all the facts they need.

Step 5: Appealing a Denial (if necessary)

If a claim is denied, OAS provides expert testimony and updated evaluations to support the appeal and fight for the benefits the veteran deserves.
