If you are a veteran with a 100% VA disability rating or total disability based on individual unemployability (TDIU), you may be wondering if you can work and still receive your monthly benefits. The answer is yes, but there are some important distinctions to keep in mind.
First, let's clarify what we mean by a 100% VA disability rating and TDIU. A 100% VA disability rating is given to veterans who have a service-connected disability that is rated as 100% disabling. This means that the veteran's condition has been deemed severe enough to prevent them from working and they are entitled to receive monthly benefits at the maximum rate.
TDIU, on the other hand, is for veterans who may not have a single disability rated at 100%, but have multiple disabilities that, when considered together, make it impossible for them to maintain gainful employment. In this case, the veteran's benefits are also paid at the 100% rate.
Now, back to the question at hand - can you work with a 100% VA disability rating or TDIU? The short answer is yes, but with some restrictions. For veterans with a 100% VA disability rating, there are no limitations on working and earning income. This means you can work as much or as little as you want and still receive your full benefits.
However, for veterans receiving TDIU benefits, there are stricter regulations in place. The main restriction is that veterans cannot engage in "substantially gainful employment." This means that the veteran's annual income from employment cannot exceed the poverty threshold set by the Department of Labor. If a veteran exceeds this threshold, their TDIU benefits may be reduced or even suspended.
It's also important to note that any work you do must not contradict the reason for your 100% VA disability rating or TDIU. For example, if you receive benefits for a back injury and you take on a job that requires heavy lifting, it may call into question the severity of your disability.
In conclusion, while veterans with a 100% VA disability rating can work without limitations, those receiving TDIU benefits must be mindful of their income and the type of work they engage in.
