Risk of Seeking TDIU Too Early HD

If you have seen some of our other videos on filing for TDIU, you may be getting ready to file a claim for total disability based on individual unemployability. In this video, Travis Studdard talks about one reason you may want to pursue your claims in stages rather than seeking TDIU from the beginning of your claim. In some situations, claiming TDIU could cause VA to assign a lower than fair rating for your disabilities as a way to limit your chances for TDIU. This video is a reminder to think about overall claims strategy as something to consider when you are unemployable.
