TDIU, IU, unemployability findings all require that a veteran must be unable to secure or follow a substantially gainful occupation as a result of their service-connected disabilities.

Substantially gainful employment is defined as SGA, substantial gainful activity. SGA is defined as an amount of earnings that is at or above the federal poverty threshold for one person. Marginal Employment is defined as anything less than that. A good example of this is part-time work and the VA will often use this to describe a veteran's work situation as a choice rather than a circumstance that flows from their service-connected disabilities.

The stressful demanding nature of full-time employment is precisely why veterans are both physically and psychologically unable to obtain SGA or substantially gainful employment. Because of this, some employers provide “accommodations” in the form of protected or sheltered work environments.

Examples of Protected or Sheltered Work Environments include…
• An employer will tolerate less reliability from an employee
• An employer tolerates lower productivity
• An employer allows altered work requirements
• An employer allows leniency for conduct

Watch as veteran’s attorney Zack Evans explains and offers examples of each of these in detail.
