Can veterans still work and receive TDIU compensation?

Yes. Veterans who receive TDIU compensation can still be employed — but with strict limits. Veterans are allowed to maintain “marginal employment” where the annual income is below the federal poverty threshold.

Is TDIU permanent for veterans?

TDIU is not permanent — but it can be when veterans meet the right criteria. The VA may schedule re-examination for veterans who receive TDIU, and if medical conditions improve and the veteran can return to work, they may no longer be eligible for TDIU. TDIU benefits may be permanent if the disability is considered “static”, the veteran is over 70, or the veteran has held a TDIU rating for more than 20 years.

Does age affect eligibility for TDIU compensation?

No. This is a common myth. The VA cannot deny TDIU benefits based on age alone. A TDIU rating is tied directly to whether the veteran’s disabilities prevent them from maintaining consistent gainful employment.

Will the VA contact former employers for TDIU claims?

Yes. The Department of Veterans Affairs will contact former employers for TDIU claims. They will send VA Form 21-4192 to employers you have worked for in the past year to find out why you left and determine how your disability impacted performance at work.
