Tricia Muth
Veteran Services Manager | Vocational Consultant
Tricia Muth leads our Veteran Services section of CRC Services, LLC. Ms. Muth is a nationally
certified Rehabilitation Counselor (CRC) and brings more than 17 years of experience working
with clients with a variety of disabilities related to orthopedic, neurological, respiratory,
digestive, cardiovascular, endocrinological, cognitive, and psychiatric/mental health conditions.
As the Veteran Services Manager, Ms. Muth works directly with law firms and unrepresented
individual veterans seeking a Vocational Assessment in their claim for Total Disability Individual
Unemployability (TDIU) or Special Monthly Compensation (Aid and Attendance) benefits. In
addition to assisting the law firm and individual veterans in the development of relevant case
materials, Ms. Muth oversees the case progress, assigning it to one of our highly experienced
Vocational Consultants and assuring the quality and timeliness of reporting.
Ms. Muth also performs vocational assessment interviews with veterans seeking TDIU or Aid
and Attendance benefits and offers her vocational opinion on the veteran’s ability to perform
Substantial Gainful Activity (SGA) based on the veteran’s service-connected disabilities.
In addition to her work with CRC Services, Ms. Muth is qualified by the Social Security
Administration as a Vocational Expert and testifies before Administrative Law Judges providing
vocational expert testimony on an individual’s ability to work at SGA levels as defined by the
Administration. This includes vocational opinion on classifying the claimant’s past work,
identifying transferable skills and responding to hypothetical questions posed by the ALJ and
the claimant’s representative.
Prior to joining CRC Services in 2020, Ms. Muth performed TDIU assessments with another firm
for four years, and for a decade, was employed by the Office of Vocational Rehabilitation (OVR)
in Pennsylvania. During her time at the OVR, she was promoted from Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor (VRC) to Supervisor and worked directly with clients throughout the Vocational Rehabilitation process. Her work included interviewing clients, educating clients on the VR process, providing career counseling and assisting clients with developing a suitable vocational goal, identifying transferable skills, developing rehabilitation plans, assessing and planning for vehicle and home modifications, performing labor market analyses to identify occupational trends, analyzing the essential functions (physical & cognitive) demands of occupations, providing job readiness training, assisting with job placement, and working directly with employers when accommodations are needed. As Supervisor, in addition to oversight of her assigned counselors (VRCs), Ms. Muth developed business partnerships with local employers and served as liaison between the client, employer and other community support agencies.
Ms. Muth received her M.A. degree in Rehabilitation Counseling from George Washington
University.
