VA admits some veterans are still unable to work due to their disabilities by granting IU, despite their assigned combined ratings not reaching 100% disability.
How do you know what the VA is looking for when it decides these unemployability claims? How do you get started with your IU claim? Not able to work because of your VA disability? When VA evaluates disability claim for IU, it first looks at whether the veteran meets the schedular requirements for IU.

Holy shit..... I had no idea this existed!! I've been at 80% for almost 10 years and I've had more options available to me. Wowwww....
I guess Im asking the wrong place but does anyone know of a tool to get back into an Instagram account??
I stupidly forgot my password. I would love any tricks you can give me!
I am 100% disabled with social security , for chronic depressive disorder. Diagnosis made by VA psych. Secondary to diagnosis to which VA gave me 30%.. they denied disability for depression. I'm going to reapply, thank to you guys.
.
I have TDIU since 2015, 70%PTSD 70%TBI combat related are the main reasons. Also I'm scheduled SMC level 5. In my case, I cant work based on my housebound status. My only other hope for extra income is Social Security in addition to my VA rating.
Hi D.Ramos, we are sorry to hear that you can't work due to your housebound status. It is possible to get some Social Security and VA Benefits together. Here is more information on how Veterans can maximize their benefits ruclips.net/video/xhRT-zXtMvg/видео.html
The two of you are awesome and informative. Thanks so much for all you do for Veterans.
I am 💯 Permanent and Total and also on Unemployability by VA
Awesome!Thank you
You bet!
Question, if a veteran has 100% TDIU P&T (Permanent and Total) can the veteran do side hustles like (door dash or grubhub). I understand 100% TDIU is a decent amount of money but sometimes the veteran wants to get out of the house and do a few things here and there. Is this advised against? Or is something small like this okay? As long as you don’t make over $12,000 a year?
You folks must be an absolute GODSEND to so so many....
I wish I had found this channel sooner. I was discharged in 2005 and JUST started getting benefits for PTSD in 2022. I go to sign papers to receive TDIU this afternoon and I can't sleep because I'm so excited to finally be able to get a car and take my girls to cheering practice and tumbling. Being able to do things like that is gonna make SUCH a difference in my life.
Good for you!
before i quit my job in 2018 due to worsening of ptsd, and i was 700 a month and i was denied IU and even though i'm at 90%, they told me that i could still work even though i wasn't working. Seems to me I was duped.
what if your self employed and are paid on 1099 can you still work and get the UI?
Hello. Thank you for this video. I hope you will be able to answer my questions. First, how long does it take for a TDIU application to get denied/approved? Also, I had my C&P exam and received a notification to apply for TDIU, but I am still working. If I apply and get approved, do I have to quit immediately or is there a grace period the VA gives you before I have to quit. TDIU will help me tremendously due to my disability, but I am in the process of obtaining a VA Home Loan and any changes to my income will make things so complicated so I am not sure what to do.
Hello Ivy, thank you for watching! Unfortunately, we would not be able to tell you how long it would take to receive a decision regarding TDIU as each claim varies. We are unable to give legal advice, but we do have a great blog about TDIU that I have linked here www.hillandponton.com/tdiu-benefits-and-what-form-to-complete/
What I had stop working in other words I was not able to work started in 2009 started filling with va in 2006 and SSN disability in 2009 was having muscle spasms and body lock up from waist down and still having them and was told that I was total and permanent disability in 2015 and was never told about it until 2021 and didn't know anything about unemployment disability
Go to your Local DAV! THEYdo great work helping vets get claims through
If you have dependents does the income threshold go up?
What if you are a truck driver and you can park anytime you want and lay down and have minimal contact with other people
How do I apply and is it true they will back date the I was out of the army due to the fact that’s my injury date? I’m 💯 TDIU and looking to file SSDI. Also can I use post 911 on TDIU?
I have a question?I have been diagnosed with PTSD a couple years ago Vietnam combat veteran.They evaluated 70% and ended up giving me 100% TDIU. I'm 72 and I thought that the nightmares and irritability were just part of life nothing to do with Vietnam(wrong).My question is my disability check is very important to me to survive, so I can't afford financially or physically to lose it.At my VA, the primary doctor(I've gained 40# in 3 years) and Psychiatrist after discussion with me, both think it would be a great idea for me to seek a 12 hour or so 2 day weekly job at a golf course(I like golf) outside work for my physical and mental well being.My question is would this $100.00 a week job jeopardize my benefits in any way?Even though both doctors agree some work activity would be great for my well being.Has there be any precedence on this certain issue that doctors at the VA recommend some work activity without losing my benefits.My Interview is on Monday,I don't want to look like a fool!
I was disabled completely in 2007 via the VA and secular means. I began drawing SSA disability. I applied for VA disability TDIU in 2010 as not being able to work via migraines, COPD, back issues. I have been turned down for TDIU and now my case is in Wash DC. It has taken 11 years so far. I didn't realize that VA would take so long. The migraines from a mortar attack in Vietnam. COPD from Agent Orange, and PTSD from Vietnam. Back issues related to a leg injury at Fort Knox. Now I have GERD and Sleep Apnea. All related to service. I should have received TDIU 11 years ago. My attorney keeps saying it is a wait. Now I'm 80% but still having problems
Hi Mark, thank you for sharing your story with us. We are very sorry to hear about the hardships you are facing and we hope you are able to get your rightful benefits.
Sorry bro. VA is waiting for your departure. Govt have billions to send to Ukraine fast, but no money for vet. Wait for another 11 years if you can.
If someone was to go to school for accounting and do a few a year, would they get in trouble?
I’m tdiu on my award letter is says I am totally and permanently disabled is that the same as p&t which means can’t be taken away as long as I don’t work right
Is there a timeframe in which a veteran has be be unemployed or earning below the poverty limit before applying for TDIU? Asking because I’m currently working full time but my SC disabilities are worsening and my physc doctor told me I should apply for TDIU. Thank you in advance
Hi there, there is no set time frame. If your VA service connected disabilities are keeping you from work or severely impacting your work, then we typically recommend looking at TDIU benefits. Here's our Ultimate TDIU Guide here: ruclips.net/video/6QZYplYLwZk/видео.html
could sheltered employment be a gig worker (uber/lyft) ?
Can you be self employed, earning less than pov level and still TDIU?
Any answer?
Nope no reply…
@@Lcshell les then 12 k a year
Please I have a question. I am in a family of 3 on unemployability. Doesn't the poverty level change from one person to the three based on the number of people in my family?
@@HillAndPonton Thank you very much!
I have 5 children does my poverty level change from $12k per year
Thanks for the info. However @ about the 6:00 mark I don’t understand your definition of sheltered employment. So if my “family member” owned the fortune 500 company it would be OK Because family members are more likely to be understanding? If a company offers the same accommodations as a family member would, then what difference does it make if you’re working for Oracle or if you’re working for Mr. Schmidt’s family owned painting company?
She doesn't understand the meaning of sheltered employment.
Hi, I am receiving a pension from retiring from a Federal job starting Nov 2019. Since then my dis. rtg. increased to 90% combined. Can I be TDIU while receiving a pension? Does it have anything to do with my yearly gross from the pension?
Did you find out an answer? I would like to know too
@@Rshen11 not yet
Ok..what representative position at the VA , would I contact , to see if a potential employer passes the green light, to continue to recieve tdiu 100 percent and work a high paying job
Thanks so much for all the info you have shared. I have a big question: I just got 100% unemployable T & P on April 14, 2023 and effective date back to 9-20-2022. I have been working 3-4 days a week but paid for 40 hrs. Am I in danger in loosing this benefit now or can I make threshold after the 4-14-2023? Thanks for your reply.
If your rating was 100% from combined ratings, it would be under different rules than being brought up to 100% via TDIU. They explain it at the end here.
If you’re receiving 40 hours of pay while receiving tdiu then they will, unless it’s your disability compensation.
I understand that the VA can take away or reduce tdiu benefits if you are above the poverty threshold, but can the VA take away benefits over any amount of earned income regardless of how much and have you ever represented anyone who has had this happen?
Thank you for your question. Our website states "Veterans with paying jobs are not necessarily disqualified for an IU rating. The key, however, is that all income earned from employment must be at or below the poverty level as stated above, or from a job that is considered to be “protected”. This marginal and sheltered employment is the exception to the rules for IU qualification. However, it’s important to note that this total disability rating isn’t always permanent. The veteran may have to undergo periodic medical exams to substantiate the continuation of the veterans’ benefits." I have linked the complete blog here www.hillandponton.com/tdiu/
@@HillAndPonton Hi there. Thank you for the information. Quick question: if I understand correctly, while a veteran is receiving TDIU he/she can still work full-time and make unlimited income as long as they work in a “protected environment” - where the employer accommodates the veteran for their service-connected disabilities? If so, is it advisable to let the VA know that they are working in a protected environment to mitigate any alarm when they make over the property threshold? Thank you so much.
What about someone who can't work in a normal job for or with someone else but can sit down and type and writes a novel and uses a company that does almost all the publishing and marketing, if they someday manage to bring in more than the poverty threshold - specially after 55?
I'd bet the answer is like every case is specific, you may loose it when you publish the book but say the next year you don't make any money you may be able to reapply. Which sounds like a horrible waste of time.
What are tiu rules for unearned income?for example are veterans allowed to save our money and earn dividends or invest?
Thank you for writing in! Your question has been submitted for our attorney to hopefully answer in an upcoming video!
How do veteran's receiving TDIU, get their percentage pushed up to 100%? I'm at 70% but receiving TDIU. live in in Florida, and even at 100% comp pay is barely enough to get by. It's so expensive these days.
Getting bumped up to 100% if you're already on tdiu would not make a difference in your pay
@@michaelwilson3993 yes it would because it would allow her to make money over the poverty threshold
@@camcamandgirls6373 if you can do that why would you need tdiu or disability at all?
@@Hoffmanpack you’re obviously not a veteran nor do you understand tdiu or va dis compensation because if you did then that wouldn’t be a question
@@camcamandgirls6373 well I'm here to learn, if you can sustain income over the poverty threshold and you loose tdiu you still receive your base 70% or so and you can work so that means you can earn much more money than receiving tdiu. Why try to pull tdiu plus income over poverty threshold. That's just asking for trouble with overpayment and debit.
What about rental property income while on TDIU? I’ve never been able to get clarity on this question.
Cap gains income doesn’t count. Only W2 income is restricted. I have been on IU for almost 10 years and last year I had $30k cap gains from bitcoin. Getting a paycheck that takes out SS and Medicare is the red flag you want to avoid.
@@michigangreen1915 I've met a couple veterans in bitcoin.
If you are receiving IU benefits and your schedule ratings reaches 100 percent, can you then work if able without any penalties from the VBA?
Thank you for watching. Here is more information regarding this topic. www.hillandponton.com/va-unemployability-working/
Did you find the answer to this?
Can someone work during the application process that can’t afford to stop working until a decision is made ?
Is gig work considered sheltered or marginal since they allow you to work whenever you want or need? For example Uber Eats, Grubhub, Doordash, etc.
It can be considered marginal. Our website states "If a veteran’s earnings are below the poverty level, that job cannot be considered substantially gainful. Instead, it is considered marginal employment." I have linked more information here www.hillandponton.com/va-unemployability-working/
@@HillAndPonton I have been on permanent TDIU now for 2yrs and haven’t worked one bit. If I decide in 2023, to close say five mortgage transactions and net $20-30K in 1099 income, will that raise red flags with the VA, Even though the amount of work for an entire year is extremely minimal and work from home? Thank you in advance.
@@Char479 that'd probably be a big deal considering your unable to keep a gainful job and can perform a gainful job from home. But I wouldn't know I'm here to learn.
I have a question for you I've been on workman's comp because I sustain an injury while working now the VA is examining me because I am unable to work because of a service connected condition what happens if the VA approves my unemployability since I am already getting disability from an accident I sustain while working working I have not been approved yet by the VA but I like to no where I stand and what do I have to do in the event that is approved
Worker's comp is tax-free and not reportable. I am 100% P&T and also receive a state L&I monthly pension from an injury I suffered while on the job.
Are there any additional education benefits for the veteran if they receive TDIU PT??
For more information regarding this, it would be best to consult a Veteran's Service Officer or Veteran's Advocacy Group. Thank you for watching and we wish you the best.
Social security
Would sheltered and/or marginal employment be considered working a job online from home, or if you owned a company where you could work from home?
If you own the company, yes it can be considered sheltered employment.
@@Mr.T360 can you post resources to prove this?
As a hobby, I wrote a book. Later, I put that book for sale on Amazon and Audible. I still write, but most of the time I don't write anything for weeks or months at a time. Two questions...is my Individual Unemployability still secure, even if my book starts sale well? Second question...can I publish on Amazon any other books I write and gain profit for those without my Unemployability being affected? That's all, thank you.
Dam good question I'm was thinking the same
I'd like to see the answe to this as well. I suppose as long as it doesn't qualify you as "gainfully employed".
P
I just asked basically the same question you did but I see it's been a year and no one has answered
I HAVE UNEMPLOYABILITY, FIRST.100% RATING, FOR P.T.S.D., SECONDARY TO M.S.T.
DO I HAVE TO BE CONCERNED ABOUT THE V.A. TRYING TO LOWER MY RATING?
MY P.T.S.D. IS THE HIGHEST RATING ALLOWED .
I am 100% IU. When you state marginal employment and not over federal poverty guidelines are you saying it is just for yourself or do they factor in your children or dependents? poverty level for adult in 2023 is $13,590 and per dependent is $4,720. So, in my case having 2 kids plus myself could I make up to $23,030 or would it be only $13,590?
I’ve seen conflicting answers about this online. Would love to know the answer myself.
How can you tell if you are granted educational benefits? My decision letter does not state this but I have TDIU status.
Hi Chris, you may want to consider speaking directly with your local VA regional office or see if a VSO (veterans service officer) can help you look the educational benefits.
Can driving for ride shares like Uber and Lyft be considered sheltered employment for someone on tdiu? Being that you can create your own hours and location, as well as minimal interaction with people?
I’m curious about this as well?
Hello. I am a retired federal employee. Not Militarily retired but Civil Service. I want to work but migraines hit me too frequently. I'm considering applying for IU. With a retirement income above the Poverty Limit, would that stop me from IU? I'm not "working" but I am bringing in an income. Thanks
Hi Sam, unfortunately, we would not be able to advise you on this. It would be best to contact the VA directly to get the most accurate information regarding your situation.
Can you utilize your MGIB while being PTIU? If You are going to school, then you’re working towards a degree. If you have a degree, it’s for a job/income. But you wouldn’t need that because you are PTIU...🤷🏽♂️
Also, could you get a trade license paid by the MGIB, while still receiving my full amount from my disability pay?
Yes you can. Only earned income is considered.
@@michaelwilson3993 What if it was a business? Like if my wife and I have a garden, and we sold produce? Or if I make money online (EBay, FB Marketplace, etc.)
@@hectormedina2205 any answer?

I still don’t know if I can go to college. Or sell anything online, or from a garden.
if i am currently getting TDIU but i want to work can i ask for TDIU to be removed?
will that effect my rating prior?
Hi Damian, thank you for your question. It has been submitted to our attorney to hopefully be answered in one of our upcoming videos! Please stay tuned!
@@HillAndPonton any answer??
What about tdiu, and self-employment?
i got retiredment pay and notified VA kentucky and theysiad i was entitled i said NO and they said yes and later they came for $60,000 with interest.
I already put in a intent to file for a new claim for PTSD and TDIU but I don't know what I'm doing and I need help! I have 10% for tinnutus 10% for lumbar MYOSITIS, 10% for left knee Iliotibal Band Syndrome, and 70% for major depressive disorder. Totalling 80%.
I was recently diagnosed with PTSD in July. And I was medically retired from the army December 2019.
Find out where a VSO, veteran service officer, is or the VFW or Foreign Legion post. They can get you the help you need.
@garyfeltman4482 thank you for the information. I ended up getting 100% P&T in May of 2022
What if the vet is on PT IU and receives less than poverty level from crypto(Bitcoin) investments? Is this acceptable?
Earned income is all that matters in TDIU
@@dillonkay8196 Thank You
correct me if I'm wrong, I'm not sure I quite understood. If you are already 100% permanent and total, you can not receive TDIU or IU benefits? Being 100% P&T are there any benefits to help you increase your monthly income, especially if you have issues holding gainful employment? Don't you have to be accepted for IU to receive Social Security? I'm 32, 100% P&T but struggle keeping jobs due to my disabilities. I have been fired for poor performance, but can't perform at their standards for obvious reasons and have been fired for behavior due to my PTSD. I have had 6 jobs in the past 5 or 6 years. I can't afford any homes or apartments in my area with 100% scheduler payments alone. Any advice would be greatly appreciated 🙏
You absolutely can qualify for SS without IU. Start the application process immediately because it can take years. You can hire an attorney that won’t get paid unless you get SS awarded. They usually take like 25% of the backpay. Also, you should look for shelterd employment like they described. A job specially for people with disabilities that will overlook underperformance because of disabilities.
What if you're a 1099 and you don't pay into social security?
So if you are at 100% rating, then you don't need to apply for IU. Am I right? Please clarify.
Hi Dave, the benefits are the same for being rated at 100 percent or for having TDIU. Thank you for watching!
I have TDIU and 100% P&T secular. I found out that I'm able to work. How do I remove my TDIU? Thank you!
You may want to reach out to a VSO near you or the VA's office directly regarding your TDIU benefits being removed.
@@HillAndPonton Thank you for your time.
You don’t want to be Scheduler because then you are likely to be rescheduled for a future C&P rating review board. You could potentially show signs of improvement and lose that 100%. You can work on TDIU but you must keep the income in the poverty level AND you cannot do work that conflicts with your disabilities. Bad back? No job doing physical labor. You get the point.
I’m rated at 90% with IU P&T and SMC S. I’d like to attempt to work a few hours a week. Will I jeopardize my benefits if I attempt to work under the poverty line being that I’m rated housebound due to combined percentages? We’re a family of 4 living in California and we need some extra income.
You and I are in a similar situation. I'm 80% IU P&T. Did you find out anything?
@@padraigmidkiff9687 nothing. I’ve asked the va for confirmation but haven’t heard from them

Can I be 100% TDIU and own an LLC to be an 1099 independent driver but not pay myself and keep the income in the business under the LLC’s EIN number? Thank you in advance.
Did you end up doing this? I’m contemplating something like this since I can work whenever I want without jeopardizing my livelihood
can my wife get medical benefits if I get a total of 100% whether it is unemployability or just 100%? currently at 70% waiting on the second result from a PTSD claim
After being awarded I.U. with an 80% total combined rating. Two months later the va updated my total combined to 100%. It’s been almost a year now, and it hasn’t changed. Is it possible to have I.U. and be rated at 100% p@t? ? Because basically that’s what I’m reading. Or will my over all rating drop back to 80% if the I.U. ever goes away?? Just looking for some clarification. Thanks
This is what I am dealing with did you ever find a answer?
It will drop back if they decide that whatever reason the extra 20% is no longer valid. If you have the increase for more than 5 years, it's usually considered permanent so they wouldn't investigate except under special circumstances
Yes you can be rated P&T with TDIU. That’s precisely my situation. I have a 70% rating P&T getting paid at a 100% rate through TDIU.
How do you contact VA if you want to go back to work? Does the VA have a ticket to work program? I’m 100% p&t but 90% TDIU confused
Great question, and I will like to know the answer !!
I think you just go to work and the VA will drop you after you break the threshold. Not a very logical operation. Incentivises not returning to work.
I'm 100% veteran disabled and just getting SSDI. I am still unable to work because of memory issues. Can I still get IU?
Thank you for watching and that is a good question that many Veteran's have. A 100% VA rating and Individual Unemployability are essentially the same rating. The only difference being that with Unemployability, you must continually show the VA that you are not working. I have linked a great video from our website here www.hillandponton.com/video-blog-common-mistakes-100-vs-unemployability/
To answer your question, no you cannot get both unemployability if you’re on 100% scheduler rating.. As mentioned, they are essentially one of the same.
I took ss at 62 because i couldn't find a job ,,,,so i retired,,,i guess to collect,,,,, now they say because of that,,,, I can't get unemployability,,,,,I drove otr because I can't be around people that much ,,,,like factory work
Apply for aid and attendance or smc
Once you receive 100% it’s only the beginning
Hi! I’ve been on IU at 90% for years and just got a letter stating I’m 100% T&P a few months ago. Times are hard and I really need to work. Am I still allowed to work?
no
6:00
Can I attend college if I’m TDIU??
What about self employed?
I’m rated at 100% 90% PTSD / 10% back issues can I work? The reason I’m asking is my son just started his senior yr in high school and I will lose the money I’m receiving for him once he graduates I’m trying to make back what I’m losing . Thanks
If you’re at 100% without TDIU, then you can absolutely work. Contact the DAV to double check if you don’t want to trust a random guy on the internet. They usually reply very quickly. Best of luck!
Hi. I have 90% for anxiety headaches and tinnitus. I’ve been a trucker for about 35 years. Last year I had to stop working because of my headaches. Can I get unemployment va benefits?
I definitely think it’s possible. It doesn’t hurt to try. Contact the DAV for help.
Ya or just file it on ebenfits yourself, what did u do?
Does Rachel work in Texas. I’m at 70 percent and I need help with tdiu.
If I feel like I can work, can I get off tdiu? I'm not on it yet, but an attorney wants to take my case.
Not just that you have to show you can sustain gainful employment , so that's 13k a year or so anything over that and your probably gonna get off tdiu. Maybe idk.
What if u have a non service connected disability
I get TDIU which is permanent & total and my wife has a business and taxes are filed together. I get no earned income. I help when I can but get no payment.
Should we file taxes separately?
Also I don’t get SSD bc I was told I couldn’t - I had plans returning to work. 4 cervical spinal fusions (1 didn’t take), 2 lumbar spinal fusions, knee surgery, & shoulder surgery in a 6-7 year period and it bc apparent I can’t do much work. Went to Social Security and they said I should have drawn before 2012 bc time expired. So beings I paid none in since 2012 I can’t draw.
Also, I told CPA to pay some SSD in for me for 2019, 2020 that way in a decade or so I can draw SSD bc I just turned 43.
Will this get me in trouble? No earned income. Kinda in a strange dilemma.
My last option is to send off remaining claims I been having which should raise to 100% scheduler after reviewing their data.
Thanks

I applied I make 409 every two weeks my vso says I will not get it
My friend is 80%, IU, total and permanent what does this mean
nothing
6:00 here's your answer
How do I file for UI
There’s some extra paperwork. Contact your local DAV and they should give you some help. Good luck!
Does the VA actively look at veterans income? And if so, How do they see that?
You sign a form annually stating that you are not gainfully employed if you are receiving TDIU. Additionally, the VA is a federal agency so checking your SSA or IRS earning records is easy and routine. The biggest issue if you are working, receiving TDIU compensation and not telling the VA you are committing a felony.
What makes the VA deny unemployability to a Disabled Vet that they know can't work.
Can i get my Military retirement with TDIU?
What about Uber???
I have been denied unemployability I made a big long post on the new depression video
I was at 90% due to Diebetic from Agent orange also have Ischlemic Heart disease from Agent Orange have schrapnel In My shoulder , and a piece of metal or something lodged near my heart from wounds recieved o. 3=11=69 Vietnam was only compensated for the Diebeties...was at 90% we t to a dr for VA they dropped it back to 80% because he told them it was improving.well it doesnt ever improve it gets Controled or Managed

I need your help. I know I have PTSD from the gulf war. But my vso is in the states and he told me he was there for me but he doesn't know how to help me. Because he is in Ohio and I'm living in Germany 🇩🇪. I wish I had died in the desert storm. I would not have to be sick as I am.
CAN I WORK ONLINE WHILE ON VA UNEMPLOYABILITY
Don't they have to tell you if you've been denied or what are you VA disability to send you the paperwork that you know I'm denied and tell me why I'm denied

What about working for a LLC with you being 51 percent owner wife 49 percent. The llc makes ok. But has a lot of tax deductions. So you pay yourself appropriately nothing but pay your wife 12k a year? Such as a hobby farm.....if she makes more should we file married joint or separately
Can you own rental property
Can i own a business and have workers on it while recieving the 100% unemployability?
@@HillAndPonton thank you!
Capital Gains and Passive Income (Rental Income, Stocks, etc.) does not affect your TDIU, as it is not considered Employment Income.
@@elarabetusupiste8681 Hi, you asked a question about having a business with a 100% unemployability rating. What was the answer, please?
@@dzikijohnny I know, why can't we see the answers? Frustrating
Im recieving TDIU, its social security im having to fight with. 2+ yrs now, doctor exams, shot down twice, Now, Ive had to obtain a legal team. For them to ensure me( with $ signs in thier eyes) they would not take my case if I Wasnt entitled, because They get 25% off the top as payment.
Wow..
SS is absolutely ruthless. Good luck, in hope you get it!
I'm not a lawyer but I got myself 100% TDIU from doing extensive research. I already found a correction that needs to be addressed.
You CAN make more money than the poverty threshold WITHOUT sheltered or protected employment while ON Marginal status if you're working less than half the hours of your co workers for the same job. If your co workers make 100k a year working 40+ hours a week but you work 20 hours a week and make 50k a year, you can still keep TDIU because Substantial Gainful Employment is NOT DEFINED by income only. Working low hours because of your service connected disabilities can let you qualify. There are people that work 10-20 hours a week and make a lot of money but can't work full time because it's too much to handle. Also, with protected or sheltered employment, you are not limited by hours or income.
Another correction,
Poverty threshold is NOT based off a single veteran if you have a spouse or dependent living in your household. The number goes up for ea additional household members (immediate family). Veterans NEED to know this stuff. It only took around 50+ man hours of research to learn all this. I even called multiple disability lawyers to confirm it and I was right. The VA not only doesn't want you to know this, but many of them (supervisors included) don't even know about it due to lack of training on the matter. 38 CFR, due diligence people.
Tdiu since 2008 bipolar and chronic prostate gland inflammation but I work 20 hours a week I told the VA before starting to work they say it's ok as long as you don't go over the poverty guide line. What do you think I'm I doing the right thing?
@@adalbertogarcia4317 you'd have to prove that you CAN'T work the extra hours, and not just because you're scheduled for that
I have TDIU (IU) . I get 100% compensation pay but my rating is 90%. Now what I find to be a fun fast is even though they pay you at 100% rating you do NOT get the 100% benefits like for example property tax exemption. Wish that was different.
What state? Just curious
That's not accurate if it says you're a hundred percent I use a mental health trap who the hell can live on $3,600 a month in this economy
Depending on the state,not all states have complete property tax exemptions
ask them to increase your TDIU to TDIU P&T then you're good
I use a joke it's mental health dangerous to put a veteran tell him he's unemployed will if I'm rated unemployable in my in my disabilities are so bad why don't they just give the damn hundred percent cuz there's people less screwed up and I am who are making a great income in the VA doesn't look into their business like they do with me I can't work 40 hours a week but I can make some money if I wasn't looked into and it's hard to work for $700 a month for somebody who who who let you work that little this is bulshit while Congress rips off our taxes and spends it overseas
