Do you think you don’t qualify for VA Unemployability (TDIU) because you lack a single high-percentage disability rating? VA-accredited attorney and Army combat veteran Ed Farmer breaks down the “one disability rule” and explains five key situations where multiple disabilities can be combined and counted as one for TDIU eligibility.

This episode clarifies common misconceptions about the rating requirements for TDIU and highlights the scenarios where disabilities affecting the same extremity, both upper or both lower extremities, the same body system, or arising from a single accident or combat event can boost your eligibility. Ed walks through clear, real-life examples using the VA’s unique combined rating table, helping you recognize when your ratings add up in ways you might not expect.

You’ll also learn why meeting the initial rating standards isn’t the end of the process—Ed covers the second step: showing that your service-connected disabilities actually prevent you from maintaining substantial gainful employment.
