I am currently at 90% VA combined rating. I have one rating at 50% due to migraines. I lost a job last summer due to the fact I could not physically do the job anymore. I currently work for a city government at above the poverty line. The job description requires me to lift 60 lbs but I have a doctor order to limit my lifting to 15 pounds due to a back problem (20% rating). The city hired me knowing I had a limit of 15 pounds, making an exception for me. Would this qualify me to be working in a "sheltered workshop" allowing me to continue to work but have a 100% UI rating?
Thanks for any info.
 
It is worth a shot at trying to make a case for the rating. You may need to demonstrate that with the shelter provided to you, there is no other opportunities within the city government that you qualify for to improve your financial situation.
