:( JamesBreckenridge, carlie and other members who have opinions on this subject: How much annual salary can you make if you are rated TDIU w/ P & T?

I have to agree with you babyray. I didn't see anywhere in your question (even hypothetical) that indicated you were promulgating fraud.

You asked a legitimate question and the VA has regulations of what is considered gainful work. I only say this because the last thing I would think the moderators would want is veterans with legitimate questions having fear and holding back there thoughts.

A question not asked is lost knowledge.

Jerr

Thx u Jerr, all i ask was what is the poverty threshold for a vet who was granted TDIU. What is the TDIU regs on a vet whose's collecting rent on his rental property? Enough said, I am moving on.

jerr,

I guess you didn't notice that pr offered up an apology to

babyray prior to you posting this.

You posted,

"I only say this because the last thing I would think the moderators would want is veterans with legitimate questions having fear and holding back there thoughts.

To clarify a little something here,

I would say that the majority of time that anyone posts on the subject

of being compensated at 100 percent due to IU and

looking for ways to generate additional money without their IU being effected,

it will be questioned by someone here, as it should be.

I feel it's much better for VBA claimants to be questioned and cautioned here

then be questioned by the VBA with a proposal to reduce benefits.

All veterans web sites have claimants that will come and post for a while

and say time and time again - Gosh - all I want is for VBA to just pay me

at 100 percent it would enable me and my family,to survive financially, even with my service connected disabilities.

Then the next thing you see is they get awarded IU and start wanting to

know if they can buy and rent out property, re-hab properties,deliver newspapers,

open a company under their spouses name, buy service and sell merchandise

out of vending machines, sell belongings at swap shops and flea markets,etc...

Contrary to what some may believe,we don't sit on our computer's

24/7.

A question not answered can also lead to a proposal for reduction.

jmho,

carlie

babyray: I apologize!!! I didn't mean to offend you. It just bugs me when claimants want to collect disability, for being unable to work, and then want to work and collect the disability, also. I think most of us would prefer to work. I know I would! It's kinda built in to us. Once again, I'm sorry!

This would probably the worst time possible to lose your IU. There are no jobs out there anyway. We may not get back to full employment for years. Those getting IU or 100% are lucky. If you are over 50 and getting IU you may be the only guy or gal on your block who actually knows they will be getting a check every month.

pr, all i did was ask a simple question. why is some of u all are jumping the gun? I can not work because of my sc'ed injuries, i do not desire to work that why i put in for tdiu.

1. You can't work or you don't desire to work? Whenever I see conflicting statements, I cannot help but to ask a rational question?

2. From around-the-way, I heard of a card counting black jack player that filed for TDIU. I also heard thru the grapevine that this veteran won the lottery last month and decided to run for congress. What happens to his TDIU cliam should he win?

I hear a lot of things "around-the-way" and much of it is wrong and non-factual. On my example #2 the real answer is- what the heck does it matter, its a hypothetical based upon to other three other hypotheticals.

babyray, I apologize also because know nothing about your disabilities and situation. However, if what you say about yourself is factual I think that you will be better served to focus upon your well being instead of tracking down the rumor mill.

Let me clear this up poolguy, I desire to work but because of my SC'ed disabilities I cannot work. The "I don't desire to work" comment was made in error. U pick that up, very good, u are alert.
