Veterans Disability

Don’t Let the VA Employees be the only one to decide a Veterans Disability & Employability.  There are some claims, a veteran establishes that he is unable to return to his former employment because of his service-connected disability.  However that is not the only issue involved in individual unemployability (TDIU), the question then becomes whether the veteran has the education, work experience, transferrable skills and adequate physical or mental ability to secure and maintain Other Work. The VA often relies on their VA physicians or Social Workers’ to answer this question. But, in fact, vocational experts are the only ones who are qualified to provide an opinion on this issue.

Vocational experts can evaluate the opportunities in the contemporary labor market against the veteran’s peculiar circumstances, offering an opinion as to the veteran’s potential for obtaining another job.

When the VA obtains there opinion its often in a report known as Social & Industrial Survey , to support a veteran’s claim of unemployability due to service-connected disabilities. However, the person the VA has completing this form rarely has training, education, or experience in vocational issues, vocational limitations, nor medical and psychological aspects of disability. This is a true Veterans Disability Assessment.

The United States Department of Veteran’s Affairs (VA) is a government run military benefit system that is responsible for administering programs for veterans’ benefits, their families, and survivors. Veterans Disability- VA regulations state that “all veterans who are unable to secure and follow a “substantial gainful occupation” by reason of a service-connected disability shall be rated totally disabled.” (38 C.F. R. Sect 4.16).

you can get 100% Veterans Disability through “Individual Unemployability” or IU is a way for the VA to compensate veterans at the 100 percent rate who are unable to work because of their service connected disability. This is the fasted-growing part of the disability compensation program.

Entitlement to 100% Veterans Disability due to TDIU requires evidence of unemployment due to the disability in question and medical evidence that a veteran’s service-connected disability renders him or her totally disabled and unemployable. A Vocational Expert report can assist in documenting Total Disability.

The recent US Court of Appeals case of Smith v. Shinski (No 2010-7145) using Social Security case law indicates the Veteran’s Administration does not have to use Vocational Experts in TDIU (Total Disability, Individual Unemployability) cases but that the VA adjudicator must consider a report documenting the Veteran’s unemployability. It is clear from this decision that the ultimate question is the employability of the Veteran, not the availability of jobs they can perform.

Specifically, 38 C.F.R. § 4.16 states in part, that if a veteran is unable to secure or follow a substantially gainful occupation as a result of service-connected disabilities, he or she may be assigned a TDIU rating.  Of course there are other requirements for IU benefits, but even if those requirements are met, if a veteran is still able to secure or follow a substantially gainful occupation, then IU will be denied.

A quality Veterans Disability Assessment needs to be done by a vocational expert to document the vocational aspects of the veterans disability issues that a doctor cannot do.

TDIU Vocational Expert and Veteran TDIU Employability Myths

 

TDIU Vocational Expert and Veteran TDIU Employability Myths

Getting a Evaluation from a Vocational Expert can expedite and dispell many issues in Veteran Disabilty issues.Section 4.16 of title 38, Code of Federal Regulations, authorizes the Department of Veterans Affairs to assign a total rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU rating) based upon a veteran’s temporary (i.e., non-permanent) inability to follow a substantially gainful occupation…Many Veterans believe that :

  1. Postive Rehabiltation efforts or post-rehabilitation  with  the prospect future employment, disqualifies veterans seeking individual umemployability TDIU.
  2. A Technical or college degree means veteran is employable
  3. Attending college is the same, or about the same, as having a job
  4. Working or the Ability to have a job prevents TDIU benefits
  5. If a veteran isn’t close to being commited to a psych ward, the veteran could find some employment

First.  While having an eduction does open more doors to jobs and sedentary jobs and  intelligence will allow any person a chance to do  well in a technical school or college. But scholastic  performance does not equal  employablities or high earing capacity abilities or to put in another way will have an ability to get a job offer after an interview.

The VA  Evaluator’s conclusion must be based on practical facts than on “mere theoretical ability to engage in substantial gainful employment…” Timmerman v. Weinberger, 510 F.2d 439, 442 (8th  Cir. 1975). This means the Evaluator’s “theory” of being employable in the future does not pass the legal precedent requiring VA to draw a “practical conclusion.”

Second.  Having acheived a Technical school  cerfiticat or a college degree does mean disabled veterans can in substantial gainful employement or  work in sedentary type jobs unless a service-connected disability, such as a mental condition, precludes this option. If a combination of disabilties can be shown to interfere with maintaining employment at a gainful level they can be granted disability. A Vocational Evaluation done by a Vocational Expert can document this evidence..  Citation Nr: 1009771.

Third. Attending technical school or  college is not the same as working. Many students are not going to school full time or even part time. You can study at any hour or time or in any location that is best for you. A job has a strict schedule and a strict environment. Also, schools are paid money in order for a student to receive an education or training, therefore they will do more accomidations and have more lax rules than an employer. A vocational expert can opine on this.

Fourth. Veterans can maintain employment and still be eligible for TDIU. In South Dakota, the Board of Appeals agreed. They found a veteran to be eligible for IU despite working 30 hours per week as an automotive parts salesman for 4 years. Citation Nr: 1027075. Here, the veteran had long been employed in this field, with two years of college and experience in automotive maintenance.

Even if a veteran could find work, the work must be substantial gainful employment without special accomidations and ongoing to disqualify the veteran from IU. Further, the term “unemployability” “is synonymous with an inability to secure and follow a substantially gainful occupation.” VAOPGCPREC 75-91. In this decision, the veteran had worked in the specific position for 4 years. If 4 years in that job was not considered a “substantially gainful occupation,” employment for a lesser period would fall within this classification.

Fifth. Mental Health issues can affect employability in many ways. A vocational evaluation that has psychological testing can include this in citing worker traits and vocational limitations. This would be 5 Star evidence of disability proof that is directly related to Employability.  To get better understanding of Mental Health level see Citation Nr: 1023321.

In summary, VAOPGCPREC 5-2005 . Veterans can be eligible for TDIU on a temporary basis, while in rehabilitation efforts.

 

Having a quality vocational evaluation done by a vocational expert can take medical and psychological limitations and show how they are directly affecting a Veteran’s employability or Individual Unemployment.

    Veterans Benefits – Eligiblity

    You must have a disability that is service-connected and are having a hard time finding and maintaining employment you may be eligible for TDIU Benefits.

    We provide Veteran Disability assessments.

    Service connection generally means that a chronic disability arose coincidental with military service. It is important to establish that your injury or illness is service-connected to qualify for disability compensation. The following categories identify service-connected disability:

    1. Direct – The onset of disability is directly related to military service. Example: Complications from a gunshot wound to the left thigh.
    2. Secondary – A current disability caused by or aggravated by another service-connected disability. Example: Right knee problems from compensating for an altered gait because of the left-thigh gunshot wound.
    3. Aggravated – A chronic disability diagnosed prior to military service is aggravated beyond normal progression during military service. Example: A right-knee disability from high school football was aggravated by a parachute jump.
    4. Presumptive – A chronic disability that is related to some exposure during military service. Example: Diabetes mellitus type II related to exposure to the Agent Orange herbicide used during the Vietnam War.
    5. Paired Organ – A veteran has loss of use of one extremity or organ (i.e. kidney) due to service- connected disability and later develops loss of use of the other extremity organ.
    6. VA Medical Negligence – A disability that occurred while a veteran was undergoing VA health care.
    7. Injury Resulting from VA Vocational Training – Injury that occurred while pursuing a vocational training plan with the VA.

    Wartime Service-Connected Disabilities

    There are service-connected disabilities that relate to specific war periods.
    World War II:  Exposure to radiation was common due to the extensive experimentation and nuclear testing of the Atomic Bomb. Diseases such as Leukemia, Lymphomas, Multiple Myeloma and Cancers could later manifest in veterans who were exposed to radiation at that time.

    Korean War:  Veterans who fought in the Korean War may have experienced cold-weather injuries and, later on, residual effects of frostbite.

    Vietnam:  Exposure to Agent Orange, the herbicide used to kill off dense plant life caused multiple conditions in veterans of that war. Twelve specific illnesses have been identified as service-connected disabilities.

    Persian Gulf War and OEF/OIF:  Veterans have experienced chronic disabilities resulting from undiagnosed or unexplained chronic multi-symptom illnesses such as joint pain, fatigue, mental problems and headaches of unknown etiology.

    Compensation is Based on Degree of Disability

    Your compensation is based on a rating system that determines the extent, or degree, of disability.

    • The range of disability starts at 0 percent up to 100 percent disabled.
    • Each disability found to be service-connected is assigned a percentage rating based on its specific level of impairment.
    • If there is more than one disability, the percentages are combined to determine the total rating.

    The amount of compensation is based on this combined rating percentage and is adjusted annually.

    Here is an example of the monthly benefits a veteran with no dependents may receive based on level of disability (source: 2009 VA Compensation Pay Chart):

    10% = $123          60% =$974

    20% = $243          70% = $1,228

    30% = $376          80% = $1,427

    40% =$541           90% = $1,604

    50% = $770          100% = $2,673

     

    You can get 100% Veterans Disability under TDIU even if your service connected disabilities do not add up to 100%. You have to Apply for a TDIU Benefits and would benefit from a TDIU Evaluation.

    Vocational expert testimony can be challenged effectively in damage cases

    — Iowa Lawyer, March 2003

    Vocational rehabilitation consultants specialize in assessing disabled individuals’ limitations, and assisting those individuals in finding vocational alternatives. Given their unique training and experience, vocational rehabilitation consultants often play a critical role as expert witnesses. A vocational expert (VE) provides testimony regarding the scope and severity of vocational disabilities, including those caused by accidents that may be subject to claims for monetary damages.

    The opinion provided by a VE is essential to forming an economic damages claim. Economic loss experts rely on the conclusions provided by the VE to calculate total lost earnings since the accident, as well as anticipated lost earnings for the remaining post-accident work-life expectancy.

    Given the valuable support a VE lends to claims for damages, it is important for attorneys to understand the vocational evaluation process, and how they can apply that understanding to challenge a vocational prognosis.

    Key points in challenging a VE

    • Understand all opinions the expert is prepared to offer at trial
    • Identify and analyze the foundation for each opinion
    • Determine if the expert has the qualifications to offer such an opinion
    • Explore the expert’s vocational evaluation
    • Examine information regarding pre- and post-accident life

    By consulting with their retained VE, counsel will be better prepared to assess the opposing expert’s report.

    Qualifications

    A VE typically holds a master’s degree in rehabilitation counseling or psychology, with a growing emphasis on the doctoral degree for personal injury cases. Training may include work in psychological counseling, job development and placement, vocational testing, labor market analysis, and working with individuals who have disabilities. The most respected professional certifications include:

    • Certified Rehabilitation Counselor (C.R.C.)
    • Certified Vocational Evaluator (C.V.E.)
    • Certified Case Manager (C.C.M.)
    • Certified Insurance Rehabilitation Specialist (C.I.R.S.)

    The expert’s curriculum vitae (CV) and publication list will enable counsel to identify the expert’s qualifications. Counsel will want to obtain information relating to the expert’s education, licenses, certifications, training, teaching and writing experience, employment history, professional association membership, and litigation experience. Counsel may wish to consult with their retained VE on these matters.

    Vocational Evaluation

    To assess physical and mental capabilities a VE conducts an evaluation. Typical evaluations involve an oral interview and, if appropriate, written tests or tests of manual dexterity. During an interview the VE gathers information regarding employment and medical history, social and family background, education, military service, financial status, and recreational interests. The VE will also review records related to these matters, and possibly contact employers and/or medical professionals.

    Following an evaluation the VE forms an opinion regarding the vocational disability. Salient issues involve whether the individual is:

    • Capable of returning to the same career, performing the same duties, and the same pre-injury salary
    • Capable of returning to the same career, performing the same duties, and the same pre-injury salary — provided the work environment is modified to accommodate the individual’s disabilities
    • Capable of returning to the same career, but with different duties and lower salary
    • Only capable of returning to a different career, with different duties and lower salary
    • Not capable of returning to gainful employment ever again

    The issues are similar in cases involving individuals who were in school, or who had not yet entered the workforce, at the time of their accident. The VE will determine pre-accident career goals, whether the individual was reasonably likely to achieve those goals, and whether the individual would have likely earned more compared to available post-injury jobs.

    Counsel will want to explore the expert’s experience in administering vocational evaluations, with attention to the expert’s methodology. Was the evaluation thorough, and did the VE comply with their stated methodology? What records did the VE review? Which tests were administered? Did the VE identify the individual’s transferable skills? Counsel may also inquire whether the VE identified vocational alternatives or if they simply provided litigation support.

    Pertinent facts regarding vocational disability include: age at the time of the accident; occupation at the time of the accident — including job title, duties, responsibilities and salary; occupations prior to the accident; educational history since the accident; medical conditions prior to the accident; medical conditions at the time of the vocational evaluation; and current medical conditions.

    This information generally can be obtained from the expert’s report. Counsel would then be able to inquire about which facts the VE considered, or failed to consider. Counsel’s retained VE can provide valuable assistance in this regard.

    Employment Information

    Interviews with the individual’s co-workers and supervisors may provide information regarding performance, salary, and advancement potential. Employment information can also be obtained from Social Security and employment records. Job placement agencies provide an objective information source regarding general job requirements. For cases involving white-collar positions, “headhunters” are likely more helpful.

    Records regarding scholastic performance and aptitude may prove valuable in cases involving the ability to re-educate, i.e., return to school to learn a new trade. Such records also prove useful in cases in which the individual had been in school at the time of the accident but is claiming an inability to fulfill educational and professional goals as a result of the accident.

    Medical records are essential in a vocational evaluation. It may be worthwhile to request an independent medical examination (IME) and/or functional capacity evaluation (FCE).

    Employment, education, medical, and military records may elicit transferable skills not identified, or perhaps downplayed, by the opposing VE. This information will enable counsel to challenge the foundation and reliability of the vocational assessment.

    Earning Capacity

    Once vocational disability is assessed, the VE will render a decision regarding reduced earning capacity resulting from the accident. Counsel may challenge the conclusion as well as the sources utilized to form the conclusion. In addition, counsel’s retained VE may be able to identify higher-paying vocational options than those identified by the opposing expert.

    Work-Life Expectancy

    In addition to challenging the opposing expert’s calculations, vulnerable points include assumptions regarding the individual’s ability to work into their later years. Work-life expectancy is contingent on the type of work performed, e.g., physically demanding versus sedentary. It is also influenced by pre-existing medical conditions. Post-accident changes may reduce earnings, e.g., relocating to a region where wages are lower.

    Attempts to quantify post-accident work-life expectancy from work-life expectancy tables may be challenged on their reliability given that they characterize disabilities into broad categories, e.g., mildly disabled, severely disabled.

    Conclusion

    Vocational experts may prove vulnerable on several points: qualifications, education, methodology used to evaluate the disabled individual, resources utilized in forming opinions, and calculations determining future earnings loss. Counsel may benefit from the expertise provided by their retained vocational expert in identifying and analyzing weaknesses in opposing vocational expert’s testimony.

    TDIU – Veterans Disability

    TDIU -EMPLOYABILITY  VOCATIONAL EVALUATION  PROCESS

    This is more in-depth than the Social & Industrial Survey that the VA’s social worker will fill out, and again, the SW is not an Employability/Placeability Expert- This is why you need a Vocational Expert.

    Our Vocational Experts will perform a Vocational Analysis of the Veteran

    1) Document Review – General list:

    Hospital, Physician, Psychiatrist, Psychologist, & Counselor records, Veteran’s Disability Forms.

    2)  We Use Both a Structured and Unstructured Diagnostic  Vocational Interview

    This will be a review of the Veteran’s history and will also outline the Veteran’s age, education, current work status, past work experience, skills, current medical & psychological impairment(s), treatments, and physical & psychological limitations.

    (This can be in-person or through SKYPE)

    3)  Assessment of Current Information and determining if more documentation is needed.

    – If needed we will create Medical and/or Psychological Source forms and/or Mental Residual Functional Capacity (MRFC), Physical Residual Functional Capacity (RFC).  This will be the Veteran’s or their Representative responsibility to get completed and returned to us.

    4)  Vocational Psychometric Assessment (most cases will require vocational assessments)

    Based on the case we will determine what assessments need to be completed. We will assess not only aptitudes but also may measure Attention, Concentration, Memory, Cognitive Abilities, Mental Health Measures (Depression, Anxiety, GAD, PTSD, etc.)

    5)  Perform a Vocational Diagnostic Assessment of Residual Employability.

    6)   Labor Market Research (if needed)

    Private, local, state, and federal government labor market studies to determine if any significant number of jobs exist that the claimant can perform in the local and national labor market.

    The results of the vocational evaluation enable the Vocational Expert to render an opinion as to the employability of the permanently injured veteran’s and their ability to perform substantial gainful work activity based on quantifiable, accurate, and current information using Veteran’s Disability standards.
