First, you should understand that Individual Unemployability benefits, 100% ratings, and permanent total disability ratings are different things. Our VA-certified disability benefits lawyers find these ratings often confuse disabled veterans. First, Individual Unemployability does not require you to obtain a 100% rating, but they pay the same. Individual Unemployability is not necessarily permanent. If you return to work you could lose your Individual Unemployability. However, veterans can receive a 100 percent rating while working full-time.
You may be service-connected for either one or several disabilities that result in a combined rating of 100% service connection, or you may be receiving compensation and being paid at the 100% rate because you are unable to work due to your service-connected impairments which are known as total disability individual unemployability (TDIU). These are two different things and there may be some variances in benefits, such as special monthly compensation, educational benefits, dental benefits, and various allowances.

i am one of those 100% service connected idiots who works, even though the money is not the reason, a person just needs to work.
Why would you call yourself and idiot
@@VeryCoolJeep because there's a idiot in the comment section that thinks 100% rated vets are idiots if they work.
good for ya, I work but now I work for the only one that counts, MySelf.
Thank you.
fishing is work lol.
Hey I’m 23 and have 100% what do I do now Life seems like it’s on pause now?
Go live bro
congrats on receiving your benefit. YOU EARNED IT. now go travel this great country and the world. live and be happy.
quest 77051 couldn’t agree more
I'm 24 and at 90% with the V.A paying for my school.My percentage will also go up again once the V.A puts in my other claim.If you're young and single you still have your whole life in front of you.Go out and have fun.
may edwards same I just got out and they put me at 90% I have 4 more claims to put in that are documented and idk what to do I’m married with 1 kid btw
I'm unable and too scared to go through the legal process of making my claim of VA benefits. I had a very bad experience years ago when a VA counselor started yelling at me, and he said." Pain, pain, you know nothing about pain!,. I just don't want to go through that again, I thought he was going to jump across his desk to kill me! He had only one real arm left on his body. The rest were prostitici.
I'm so sorry you had that experience, Albert! Unfortunately, we've heard many VA horror stories. Veterans don't deserve to be treated that way.
Sounds like he needs some mental healthy treatment and lashing out on you because of his own issues
I've never been treated that way. Go again and being a hidden camera I'f they try that again.
Can a veteran on TDIU attend college by using the gi bill?
Yes, your TDIU has nothing to do with Gi bill. As long as you have the benefit your disability doesn't affect it
I used mine.
For some reason i was under the impression if you go to school the va counts it as work
@@FinDDRUclips Nah man. Enroll, take it seriously and get your benefit. I did it for a masters degree. And I told my Voc rehab if you make me keep coming to work at the VA 40hrs per week for $1,080 - I will enroll in school for the chance at a degree for the same money. Can't do Voc rehab and Gi bill at the same time. My voc rehab was at an office within VA. But they can send u to school to learn more for a better chance at a job. I walked away when school started and got my degree in 2 yrs from tulane university. That was a goal of mine. Dont be afraid to use it. I had told my doctor at VA that class was therapeutic and helped. It was written into my record.
@@federal6616 awsome thanks man hard to find people with similiar situations as mine that have gone threw it. Deff enrolling for the upcomming semester.
Lori, thank you for taking the time to make this. Though there is one thing that was incorrect, I still appreciate you trying to help. Ignore the immature/negative remarks.
Uhmm? Rather discombobulated and vague! Best of luck!
thank you this was very informative and many needed to know this information im sure.... ;)
Glad it was helpful!
how do I find out if im IU or tdIU? 100% for ptsd only. I miss working but cant hold a job for long but dont want to risk losing it.
It's called permanent and total meaning that you can not work or hold a job due to your condition because I'm on the same boat
you can work, but if you really can't hold down a job, then work for yourself. Can't take it away then
@Matt L I just got bumped up to P&t in September 7. Now i'm not to worry about anymore c&p exams anymore. I never found out what kind of 100% rating I had but i guess it doesn’t matter now.
@Matt L Yeah I read that I was eligible for pension because of being p&t, taking part in a war, not making a lot of money and being under 65 years old. not sure if you have to also be getting a check for ssi but don't want to risk filing for it right now. its an extra 1k a month max with the lowest income. i'm on the fence about it. I figure they will give it to me if they want to. right now like you said. I just want to stay out of their line of site. I can’t find many vets talking about it. maybe they dont know or its not worth the risk.
@Matt L Thank you for clearing this up for me. I didn’t want to wait 10 years and find out I missed out. So thank you for replying.
You can work with TDIU ,but you are limited. Every veteran has different guidelines. Just know it’s not much…
The only types of employment permitted for veterans receiving TDIU are marginal employment and employment in protected work environments. Here's some more information about that: bit.ly/3K0fa3p
I have a couple questions.
I am a "Triple Dipper". I am VA !00% P&T , SSDI P&T and CRSC.
What percentage of Veterans are "Triple Dippers?" Is it under 1%
What percentage of Disabled Veterans are "Triple Dippers?" Is it under 3%
I'm trying to make sense of where I rate on the Disability Scale.
V/r,
JDF
I couldn't locate recent data, but a report on this was published in 2014. It indicated that about 60,000 veterans are triple dippers. That's out of about 4.7 million total disabled veterans. That means about 1% of veterans are triple dippers.
What is CRSC..?
@@dianamaldonado2252 its been awhile since you asked but i thought i would tell you it Use to mean and than it changed kinda. You figure which definition was first.
Combat Related Service Compensation. Or
Can't Remember Shit Cuz ..???
@@dianamaldonado2252 combat related special compensation
No such thing as SSDI P and T. Every SSDI claim is reviewed periodically with a 7 year review being the longest. I retired from SSA.
I would like to know what amount of disability am i qualified at because i slipped off the tailgate of my truck ín Korea on a field project and slid down the tailgate from my tailbone to my neck. I had to have my neck replaced and that they wanted to do surgery on my 🔙 9p and they want too do surgery on my back and i told them that they only gave me a 50 percent chance of walking after the surgery. And i told them that i was walking now in a lot of paín. But at least i am not required to be stuck in a wheelchair yet. Jerry Tipton 4008.
Hi Jerry, thanks for your comment. It looks like you reached out to us back in September to discuss your case with us. I have passed your message along to our team and someone will be in touch soon to answer your questions! The call will come from a 812 area code.
You are authorized to work receiving TDIU compensation. The spin is you can't earn more than poverty level pay and you must submit proof of income each year.
The VA links up with SSA to see the vets income automatically. Vets do t have to report their income annually anymore.
Great expanlation of benefits thnx.
Covering this?: Proposed 22% budget cut to VA!!!!!
We are closely monitoring the proposed budget cuts.
I found your video helpful but confusing. The confusing part for me is how do you make money? Will it be a portion of the monthly amount awarded or an all inclusive rate?
www.woodslawyers.com/much-veterans-disability-benefits-lawyer-cost/ This article details how our fees work. We charge 20% of your backpay only if we win your case. With that said, our team *is* pretty kind.
Thank you Lori
The V.A. screws over the vets,by splitting the award.For example, I receive 100%as far as the money goes but not in the other side. Which is only 60%. I don't understand why this happens??? If you get all the money why would you not get 100% in the hospital side as well???
?????? side, that makes no sense, there is no side. Explain
Yes explain pls
Are you saying you only get 60% benefit when you receive healthcare somehow? Just as confused.
If you work and apply to get social security, even at 100% Unemployabiliy, see if you can get something from Social Security( Never Happen ) if you work your Unemployabiliy will doom you. If you work, you pay taxes, and if you pay taxes, your disability comes into question, and you know the Gov't ...So work and test it its only money your wife will understand.

You can work under the poverty limit, but there is no limit as to the amount of money you can make via passive income.

But does 100 TOTAL PERMANENT count as income for divorce , or factored into extra childsupport?
Zombie Moose82 yes, this is factored into child support for sure.
Generally, monetary veterans benefits, like disability and retirement pay, are considered income for child support purposes. Thus, even if your ex-spouse is not employed and has no other income, he can still be ordered to pay child support based on his income from veterans benefits. But still GET A LAWYER, A VETERAN LAWYER FOR HELP
No it's a disability check
T/F
"IF, a disabled veteran ON SSDI,
(considered 'totally and permanently disabled'/ due to inability to attain and maintain employment mentioned)
applies for IU, effective date, based upon SSA findings (aged 49-56), should (meaning IS IT 'REQUIRED') THE VA 'automatically', use the SSA records OR is my 'current' VA representative 'negligent' for NOT insuring the SSA records were used or even 'mentioned' in the HLR process for -Compensation Issue"?
FYI folks (paying 33% of ANY compensation VA standard is 20% for direct payment to VA representative)
@t
(f) Presumptions and discharge.
(1) Fees which do not exceed 20 percent of any past-due benefits awarded as defined in paragraph (h)(3) of this section shall be presumed to be reasonable if the agent or attorney provided representation that continued through the date of the decision awarding benefits.
Fees which exceed 33 1/3 percent of any past-due benefits awarded shall be presumed to be unreasonable.
These presumptions may be rebutted through an examination of the factors in paragraph (e) of this section establishing that there is clear and convincing evidence that a fee which does not exceed 20 percent of any past-due benefits awarded is not reasonable or that a fee which exceeds 33 1/3 percent is reasonable in a specific circumstance
The VA has a duty to assist you in your VA claim. If they did not provide reasonable assistance, that may be grounds for an appeal.
With regard to our firm's fees, our rate is 20% of any back pay you win on appeal. If we don't win your appeal, you don't pay. Additionally we offer free assistance to veterans who have never filed a claim for benefits.
Do you need a supplemental plan in addition to having Medicare A and B and the Veterans medical card
You can be less than 100% combined rating and become TDIU or PTIU with 100% pay and full benefits, plus Chapter 35 benefits for dependents. If the VA determines it is less likely than not that your conditions will ever improve, and they impair your ability to find or maintain gainful employment, and you have either a single 60% rated disability or a combined rating of 70% with one of your conditions rated at 40%, they will award you Permanent and Total disability with Individual Unemployability (PTIU). Same with TDIU except the conditions are not considered permanent. If you are PTIU, you are protected from future re-evaluations, but not for TDIU.
Plus, if you are PTIU or TDIU, you can still earn money through employment, so long as your income remains below the national poverty level for single status. If you are just 100% rated without IU status, you can make all the money you want.
On the below poverty level for TDIU, you can earn more, but under particular working circumstances.
So if you are TDIU can you get 35 chapter benefits for your family
I alway have s at 100 would like to file a claim retroactive from 1976 to the present time also want my military photto other

Husband was 80/30 TDIU. Than Agent Orange was accepted and he became 100% on Agent Orange alone. All other injuries acquired from a helicopter crash that happened in an area that President Nixon said "There are No armed forces" are now considered 'Not Service Connected'.. He has been rated at 100 % since 1995. My husband does not want to fight VA for more money but he is very upset with them saying that all the pain he suffers is Not Service connected. Also, it doesnt look like the are going to approve my becoming his Caregiver. After 48 years of marriage, I don't qualify?
I'm so sorry to hear that, Patricia. That is so frustrating!
Patricia, it shouldn't matter where the injuries occurred. Did he not receive treatment for them? Just because the commander in chief says he wasn't there doesn't mean he doesn't get a benefit.
maam do i have to complte the form 21p-534EZ
Here is some information from the VA about when you need to fill out form 21P-534EZ: www.va.gov/find-forms/about-form-21p-534ez/
So A veteran can get 100% disability compensation and also get TDIU compensation at the same time?
Good question. A veteran with a 100% schedular rating and a veteran receiving TDIU receive the same amount of monthly compensation. There is no additional compensation for having both. Here is some more information about the difference between 100% and TDIU: www.woodslawyers.com/difference-100-percent-rating-individual-unemployability/
@@woodslawyers Thank you.
@@woodslawyers Thank you.
All I know is I can’t work 100% I’m able to work and living poor. But proud of what o did and joking. I’ll be homeless soon but my head is held high I’m proud to serave
Go talk to someone at the VA and tell them you are "At Risk" of becoming a homeless veteran, there is a program to help to keep a roof over your head. Or call Solder On... or both...
contact VSO, and if possible move to a state where there are no property taxes for 100% vets, you can get a home pretty cheap that way, but first contact VA and VSO
Where you live john? I want to make sure I never move there. You must live in New York or California if you can't live on $3106.04 a month. You may want to think about moving. Good Luck Brother
What idiot would even want to work with 100% compensation?
That’s only 3000 a month. Doesn’t exactly put you in the upper 1% level. And there is more to working than money.
@@halburke9115 Hal I'm living on 2000 now so that will be a come up to me. Plus I'm working in pain everyday.

Can I get a grant for privacy fencing due to my PTSD? Total privacy aids in my health and wellbeing.
They do REHAB LOANS, for upgrading your home, to meet your needs. Forms are available. When you get them, get Three estimates(important) to qualify.
So if a person is 100% P&T they can work or not? If so is there a limit at how much you can make?
Larry, this webpage should answer your questions regarding working with a 100% rating. www.woodslawyers.com/can-i-get-100-percent-va-disability-while-working/
No limit on P&T… TDUI limited to the poverty level which is about $12,000 a year for yourself plus around $4400 more each dependent. So family of 4 is around $25,000. One thing to note about TDIU is that if you can show that you can not hold a job 5 days a week 365 days a year and it's due to your service connected disabilities, you are considered unemployable. Also you don't have to have a VA Doctor, you can see a private Doctor to evaluate you. You only have to show 51/49 more likely then not... You need to find you a good VSO and also go to your local DAV...
Larry Lauger hi Larry, did you ever get a straight forward answer for that question? I just found out I am rated 100% P&T but don’t know if I am allowed to work or not.
So if you are TDIU can you get 35 chapter benefits for your family? And what other benefits can you get? I'm already 100% disable but not total and permanent. I just want to know the difference of the benefits between the two iu and 100% disable. Not total and permanent.
It pays exactly the same on everything. They are two paths to the same benefits.
However, you generally cannot work with unemployability (hence the name)
Are any of y’all having problems getting appointments with specialist through the VA’s community care program? They switched from Tricare West to Optum and it’s a nightmare!
Mary, you aren't in AZ, are you?
Any experience with people on IU being able to get the disabled 100 tax exemptions or other 100% ratings benefits that some states provide?
Like I know some make you not pay property taxes if 100%
Google Veteran Benefits property taxes, that will give you a list of states with the best benefits for vets with 100%
My state wanted to see the permanent and total for that benefit
My friend is 100% disable and gets 8000 a month is that even possible he has been like that since the age of 23 now he is 41.
As of this year, the starting monthly compensation for a veteran with a 100% rating is $3,332.06. However, veterans with dependents are eligible for additional compensation. There are other factors that influence monthly compensation, including whether a veteran is eligible for special monthly compensation. Outside of the VA, veterans may also be receiving military retirement compensation or social security disability benefits. Together, these benefits can easily add up. I hope this is helpful!
@@woodslawyers Thank you.
@100%_service-connected, can you help me, with dental implants?
if you are 100% service connected, contact your local VA. your dental is FREE, very easy process.
@@GonewithRob but, only if one has teeth, lol. I found out since implants are cosmetic, and $2000 per titanium implantvscrew with an abutment, they do not cover them. ;(
@@NonPremiumID I live in Ecuador. Dentists and orthodontist here are very inexpensive. There exists a thriving dental tourism industry here because of the low cost. For example, a cleaning and whitening cost me $50.
I was also told that implants are not covered but they wanted to do a bridge which will cause 3 additional teeth to be destroyed in the process.
Dental Implants must go before a Board for approval .
