TDIU

Question:

As someone rated for TDIU can I start a farm and not get penalized?

Yes. If you farm some of your property for personal use and maybe sell a portion of your produce, you shouldn't have any issues with VA.
 

I say that with the assumption that your personal taxable income from your efforts won't exceed the federal poverty level in your region. The poverty level is actually fairly generous so you should be able to earn enough to make it worth your while.
 

You don't need to ask permission or notify anyone of what you're doing, the VA will monitor your IRS and SSA accounts and if you make too much money, they'll be in touch. Good luck!
