So, if I have proven without a shadow of a doubt that I am unemployable, why haven't I received my 100%?
IU or Individual Unemployability in VA speak has little to do with being fully disabled for Social Security. For SS you only need to have the requisite employment earnings and be totally disabled. How or why is irrelevant.

For VA Individual Unemployability you must either have one condition rated at 60% or have one condition at 40% with others totaling 70% coupled with a doctors statement that despite your disabilities based on the VASRD, you are in fact unemployable and that all factors making you unemployable are caused by your military service.

Perhaps if you posted your percentages and the narrative from the "Reasons and Bases" section of your last decision, we might be able to determine why your claims fail and what you need to do to qualify.
