My disabilities, although not so severe as to be rated at 100%, still prevent me from working. Can I get additional benefits for this?

Yes. Veterans Affairs has a special policy called “Individual Unemployability” (IU), sometimes referred to a TDIU (Total Disability due to Individual Unemployability. This pays a veteran as if he/she received a 100% rating on the schedule. This is a benefit always to be considered when filing a claim, since the money dramatically increases because of the structure of the rating disability. For example, the amount assigned to 100% disability is almost three times the amount of a 60% rating.
