ALBERT V. STRATEGIC RESTAURANTS ACQUISITION CO.

In 2013, Louisiana had enacted a new process, called a Preliminary Determination Hearing, to allow an employer a practice trial in front of the workers’ compensation judge and get an advisory opinion on the issues raised by the claimant in the lawsuit.  The decision was not binding, nor could it be appealed.  The losing side had the opportunity to accept the recommendations and avoid the penalty of possible penalties and attorney fees, or could proceed to a trial on the merits.

SALOMONE V. GREATER GULF COAST AUTO AUCTIONS

This is probably my fondest case over my entire career because it was a true David vs. Goliath story, and a perfect example of how an insurance company can build trust with an injured worker and use that trust to its advantage.

Getting TDIU compensation isn’t easy, but you can have an experienced lawyer handling all aspects of your case. Call Daren Sarphie, a total disability individual unemployability (TDIU) claims lawyer, to discuss your case and get help today.

Lawyer for Individual Unemployability TDIU Claims

If you are a disabled veteran and are unable to work because of a service-connected disability, you may qualify for individual unemployability compensation. Total Disability Individual Unemployability pays compensation to veterans who can’t work at the same level as having a 100% disability rating.

Even if your disability isn’t 100%, you may still qualify for full benefits. However, claims examiners don’t always recognize the evidence and pay valid claims, so receiving benefits can sometimes be challenging.

Daren Sarphie, a lawyer for individual unemployability TDIU claims, is experienced in helping veterans receive benefits, fighting denials, and pursuing all the benefits that they deserve.

Talk to a TDIU lawyer

If you believe you may qualify for TDIU benefits or if your claim has been denied, please talk to a TDIU lawyer and get immediate help with your case.

Qualifying for Individual Unemployability Veterans Benefits

Do you have:

  • A service-connected disability with a rating of 60% or more?
  • Two or more service-connected disabilities, with a combined rating of 70% or more and a single rating of 40% or more?
  • A lower disability rating but a situation where you are unable to work (e.g. frequent hospital visits)?
  • An inability to maintain substantial gainful employment because of service-connect disability?

It’s a myth that you must have a 70% rating to qualify for individual unemployability benefits. It’s possible to qualify with a lower rating, but you must present evidence showing you meet the criteria. As your lawyer, Daren Sarphie prepares the evidence to seek TDIU benefits for your service-connected disability.

Who we represent

Attorney Daren Sarphie represents veterans – and their family members – of the:

  • Army
  • Navy
  • Marine Corps
  • Air Force
  • Space Force
  • Coast Guard

What Is TDIU?

TDIU stands for Total Disability based on Individual Unemployability and allows for 100% veteran disability pay even if your rating is lower than complete disability. The purpose of TDIU is to provide for disabled veterans when their injury, illness, or disease prevents them from working.

For new and existing claims

You may be eligible for individual unemployability if you are filing a new disability claim or if an existing disability has gotten worse or changed in a way that now prevents you from working.

How To Apply for TDIU

To apply for TDIU, you must file a new veterans disability claim or apply for additional benefits on an existing claim. You must submit A Veteran’s Application for Increased Compensation Based on Unemployability (VA Form 21-8940) and A Request for Employment Information in Connection with a Claim for Disability Benefits (VA Form 21-4192), the latter of which is completed by your last employer.

How an Individual Unemployability (TDIU) Claims Lawyer Helps

Individual Unemployability (TDIU) claims lawyer Daren Sharpie helps clients receive the benefits and compensation they deserve in a number of ways:

  • Evaluates a claim for veterans’ benefits to determine if individual unemployment benefits apply
  • Raises the question of TDIU benefits as early as possible to establish an effective date
  • Makes an additional claim for TDIU benefits on an existing claim
  • Presents medical evidence
  • Shows how your disability prevents you from working
  • Compiles the forms and documents
  • Responds to a denial or low rating
  • Addresses things that may complicate or slow down your case
  • Personalizes representation to your needs

Daren Sarphie applies his skills and experience to help veterans with the complicated and tedious application process. His goal is to help you receive the benefits you deserve in an efficient manner.

Extraschedular TDIU

Attorney Daren Sarphie can assist you in an application for extraschedular TDIU. If you have an unusual disability that makes regular employment impractical, it can be difficult to obtain benefits. Having the right legal representation in this situation is crucial.

How far back does TDIU pay?

TDIU pay can go back to your effective date, the date on which you filed for disability or otherwise became eligible. Part of why it’s important to work with a lawyer is to establish the earliest effective date by providing the appropriate evidence.

Is there a C&P exam for unemployability?

There may be a C&P exam for unemployability if the VA wants to gather more medical information. The exam can evaluate whether the disability is service-connected, the disability rating, and whether unemployability is appropriate.

How hard is it to obtain individual unemployability from the VA?

It can be very difficult to receive individual unemployability from the VA. However, an experienced lawyer can help establish the correct ratings and employment information.
