I have had TDIU that’s permanent and Total since 1997. I have had TDIU since 1993. I have not worked for 26 years. I am tired of this condition controlling my life. I discovered that there is a position to work from home part- time (4 hours a day for 3 days a week. I think the gross pay is 1000.00 per month. I want to feel productive. I have not found anything that I can volunteer for for longer than a few hours a week. Am I protected by the 20 year rule? I have had tdiu for 26 years (p&t 24)? Can anyone advise me on this? No one seems to know.

It is true that you can work. However, as soon as you make over the poverty thresh hold for 1 person, SSA will trigger the VA. The VA will then send out an “employability questionnaire form”. I forgot the VA form number. The VA will judge it on a case by case basis. So as long as you make under the poverty threshold for one person, they will not bother you.
