tdiu Lack Earned Income For Ss Benefits

[hurryupnwait]

I lack $4000 in earnings to get Social Security retirement and medicare. I have not worked since 2005 because of a VA service connected disability, I occasionally, answering phone calls for my wife who is self employed with a home based business.

According to the recent tax law change, if I work 100 hours in my wife's business then I can claim a percentage of her business, I was thinking maybe I could do this for one year, 2007. Enough percentage to get say $5000 in income, pay social security tax on it. Then I would be eligible for Social security benefits.

I did call to get a price for Medicare insurance and was quoted $450 per month in todays dollars.

After this, file for VA TDIU. Would working about 100 hours be considered working in VA terms?

Thanks
