This is the form to certify annually for those of you on IU. The VA is notorious for NOT sending these out. If you know you have to certify annually, save this link. Fill out the form, print it out and send it to the VA during your anniversary month when you were awarded IU. Always send everything to the VA by certified mail with a return receipt. Make sure you keep a copy of the completed form.

The form Alan posted for reporting earned income for people who are already getting IU.

If you want to get IU from the VA you need to file for an increased rating. IU is nothing more than an increased rating

where they determine you are unemployable. I think there is a form for requesting IU you can submit at the same time.

In any event get a service officer to help you file the forms. Keep posting to hadit any question that develop.

I submit the employment questionaire every January. The VA does not send me one, but I bet if I did not send them one on my own I would be getting a letter saying they propose to reduce me because I did not respond to their request for information about my employment status. I want them to forget me, but every once in a while I discover another reason to file something.

No, 100% schedular veterans do not have to send in the employment questionnaire only the TDIU veterans does.

If your ratings add up to a combined rating of 95%, VA will round up and you are considered 100% schedular. Also your rating decision should state if you are 100% TDIU or 100% schedular.
