Citation Nr: 21015109 Decision Date: 03/16/21 Archive Date: 03/16/21 DOCKET NO. 19-25 904 DATE: March 16, 2021 REMANDED Entitlement to an initial rating in excess of 70 percent for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is remanded. Entitlement to a total rating for compensation purposes based on individual unemployability due to service connected disabilities (TDIU) is remanded. REASONS FOR REMAND The Veteran active service from November 1967 to June 1969. He served in the Republic of Vietnam and was awarded the Combat Infantryman Badge, the Parachutist Badge, and the Air Medal. Entitlement to both an initial rating in excess of 70 percent for PTSD and a TDIU is remanded. The report of a March 2018 psychiatric examination conducted for the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) states that the Veteran reported being currently employed. He stated that he had worked for the same company for 29 years. The report of a December 2020 psychiatric examination conducted for VA conveys that the Veteran clarified that “he was employed with a construction company;” “his supervisor is understanding and will allow him to work by himself;” “he reports that he can walk off or leave presently because he is a supervisor and does not work directly in construction and has an office;” and “he hypothesizes that he would not have a job if he was not a supervisor because he would not be allowed to just walk off.” The Veteran should be specifically requested to provide information as to the identity of his employer and to compete a Request for Employment Information in Connection with Claim for Disability Benefit, VA Form 21-4192. The matters are REMANDED for the following action: Contact the Veteran and ask that he provide information as to the identity of his current employer. He should be again provided with a Request for Employment Information in Connection with Claim for Disability Benefit, VA Form 21-4192, and requested to complete and return the form to VA. J. T.
