Evidence That Can Support a TDIU Claim

TDIU claims rely on evidence that explains how service-connected disabilities affect a veteran’s ability to work.

Common Types of Supporting Evidence

• Treatment records documenting symptoms
• Employment records showing work difficulties
• Lay statements from family or coworkers
• Vocational evaluations explaining employability

Why Documentation Matters

Clear documentation helps decision-makers understand how medical conditions translate into real-world employment limitations.
