In our last two blog posts, we have discussed the requirements for Total Disability based on Individual Unemployability (TDIU), as well as some of the evidence that can help establish your claim. In this article, we will establish how to apply for TDIU benefits. First and foremost, you will need to fill out VA Form 21-8940. Even if you have all the evidence needed to prove TDIU, without this form, the VA will deny your claim for TDIU.
In order to fill out Form 21-8940, you will need the following information:
Obviously, for some people, this information will not be difficult to obtain, but if you have been out of work for a long time, or if you have had many employers and can’t remember all of them, you can request that information from the Social Security Administration at no cost.
Again, if you don’t understand how to apply for TDIU benefits, need help filing your VA claim, or have claims that have been denied, call Berry Law’s team of experienced attorneys today at (888) 883-2483Â for a free consultation.
