HadIt.com Elder Philip Rogers Posted March 2, 2011 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted March 2, 2011 vet2010 - yup, you can work. Unless you are TDIU or have a psychiatric disability, that keeps you from working, you can work. Enjoy! pr I was recently awarded 100% percent disability however no where in my claim does it state I cannot work.

justrluk Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Can I ask how you were rated 20% for Tinnitus? I was under the impression this was capped at 10%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder Philip Rogers Posted March 2, 2011 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted March 2, 2011 It is capped at 10% and if he's getting 20%, it's an error. pr Can I ask how you were rated 20% for Tinnitus?

HadIt.com Elder jbasser Posted March 3, 2011 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted March 3, 2011 (edited) You can be 100 percent and work as long as you are not IU or have a serious mental disability. Also if you are on SSDI. Then ther asnswer is no. That would be risky. J Edited March 3, 2011 by jbasser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
