If you’ve filed for VA unemployability (TDIU), you might be surprised when the VA schedules you for a new round of exams for every service-connected condition. VA-accredited attorney Ed Farmer is here to explain why this happens and how you can best protect yourself during the process.

In this episode, Ed breaks down why applying for TDIU often triggers exams for each of your service-connected disabilities and what the VA is really looking for during these evaluations. He discusses the risks of potential rating reductions, how to decide which conditions to list on your claim, and strategies to keep your ratings secure. You’ll also learn the importance of understanding your current rating criteria, endorsing the correct symptoms, and preparing effective lay and medical evidence.

Ed offers practical tips for educating examiners about your unique situation, ensuring your exam responses accurately capture the impact your disabilities have on your ability to work. If you need extra help preparing your claim—or if you’ve already been denied—reach out to Ed and his team for VA-accredited help. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to maximize their chances of a successful TDIU application.
