TDIU

Question:

I have a 90% disabled rating that is TDIU but it is P&T. Does that mean I can try to go to work without worries of losing my benefits?

 

Jim's Reply:

No. That you have achieved a permanent status doesn't change the base rule...you are rated as unemployable due to service connected disabilities. A return to work tells VA you are no longer unemployable and you don't need the TDIU benefit.
 

You are allowed to earn an amount up to the federal poverty wage level and no more or VA will want to have a talk with you.
