What Is a TDIU Vocational Assessment?
A TDIU vocational assessment evaluates whether service-connected conditions prevent substantially gainful employment. It translates medical/functional limits into clear work-capacity conclusions.
When It’s Used
- Pursuing TDIU or a higher rating
- Appealing a denial where work capacity is disputed
- Strengthening evidence with a vocational opinion
What’s Included
- Records review (medical, ratings, work history)
- Structured vocational interview
- Transferable skills & labor market analysis
- Clear employability opinion tied to TDIU standards
What It’s Not
It’s not a medical diagnosis. The vocational opinion complements—not replaces—medical evidence.
