    I am currently TDIU. I would be 90% without the TDIU. I left a 6 figure job because my PTSD/anxiety got to the point where I was struggling to live. I hope to some day get back to a form of employment, but I know right know it is not a healthy choice for my mental health.

      Sadly, the longer you are out of work, the less likely that you will return if you have enough passive income to live on. It will not be a healthy situation as other parts of your life such as health and social circles will likely degrade as well.

    Yes you can work as long as you don’t make over the poverty threshold for your household size! I work part time and made 7K this year. Between my VA disability income and part time job I’m living comfortably.
    This is definitely not a complicated issue as long as you follow the rules for TDIU. Some veterans act so naive when it come to the subject of TDIU!

  • @jasonproctor9896
    @jasonproctor9896 Месяц назад +6

    One of the biggest problems is people still qanting to receive income while on TDIU, because they see TDIU as an easy 100%. So when they bullshit enough to be granted TDIU, then they're like oh crap now I can't make any money. Because it's still only 4200 a month.
    Stop trying to get TDIU if you can still work, it literally doesn't make any sense.

      @@TheCivDiv It doesn't appear to be that simple, but thank you for your reply. My CURRENT VA Disability Letter says TDIU via VA.gov reflecting a prior 70% + TDIU/PT. I am also CURRENTLY schedular at 100% (30% + 40% bilateral, 60% and 70%), reflected in my VA disabilities via VA.gov. I've been told that the TDIU remains on my letter for "historical" reasons. It can get confuzzzling bud, and there is no written guidance for this situation that I can find, but my job VA counselor and my VA Service Officer tell me, again, it's there for historical reasons and I can work as much as I want because the recent schedular "upgrade" takes precedence. It's an unusual situation, but TDIU STAYS on your letter, even after you reach 100% schedular/PT. Can show you if you in a private chat if you doubt it. It probably affects more Vets than you think, who may be..."shy" about going back to work even after they reach 100% due to health and DBQ changes. It took days of research from two job counselors from VRE and a little while from my VSO to clear me to work in my full capacity (with reasonable accomodations) with jobs I might still be able to do related to my Ph.D. in Microbiology focusing on viral genetics research. I've been branching out from that in my job search to include clinical, counseling, education, and writing/editing positions owing to a long list of research publications. Sorry for the long reply, but I thought people should know that your VA Letter can still reflect TDIU even if you are 100% schedular for..."reasons" (????) lol. Also, it's VERY RISKY to ask for increases unless your medical evidence is rock solid. That 30+40 bilateral used to be 40+50. They decreased me on that one because I felt that the nerve damage was causing more problems higher up on my arms. Clearly, they disagreed. Ooopsie.

    A lot of veterans that are TDIU typically have more conditions develop over time that may qualify them for standard 100 % P&T thru secondaries.
    Being on certain meds and protocols doesn’t come without risks.
    It’s important to keep advocating for all the benefits we earned if we have the evidence to support our health challenges and the impact of service.

      For example let’s say I was receiving it. If the VA discovers I volunteer at my church, could they use that as evidence that I am able to maintain employment?

  • @J.MarianoWilson-l8g

    Well, I’m a little confused. I mean, if you’re getting disability pay for some ailments or injuries or things that you have wrong as a result of your service there’s a lot of people that work and receive benefits. So I’m confused because if you’re able to work, does that mean you don’t get benefits that you earned and that you are owed I don’t understand so I guess if you become successful at something, even if you still have whatever ailments you have, but it turns out that you managed to find a way to still achieve things in spite of that what you don’t or I’m not supposed to take what is Dooley Rightfully owed to you I’m confused. I really don’t understand why somebody gets in trouble but so many others actually can so what is the dividing liner? What is the difference? What is the part that says well yeah if you do this though, then you can’t get your benefits that you deserved and earned what is the actual thing that you know makes that not allowed or allowed because maybe you taught a couple classes and you speak at events or it said that he had people volunteers and others that did most of the work for whatever he was involved in so what because he’s connected to it that means what so if I say he started a company and even though I didn’t really do any of the work except for maybe sitting at a desk answering the phone if that company becomes successful I don’t get to receive my benefits anymore. Is that what this is about because I’m confused honestly I mean obvious things you know I get but it’s very very frustrating because there’s a lot of area it seems to be gray with this sort of thing.
