HadIt.com Elder Chuck75 Posted March 30, 2013 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted March 30, 2013 I have not gotten Social Security. Currently, i'm still working a federal service job. Based on 100%; "are you recommending that i apply for SS?" Can i apply if i'm currently working? There are big differences between the VA and SSA. The VA's rules for 100% "scheduler" allow you to continue working, although there were some "funny" legalities involved when you were a federal worker. The SSA SSDI is based upon the inability to secure and hold a job paying more than a pittance, due to injury or disease (Medical conditions). The VA's TDIU is closer to the SSA's SSDI that 100% scheduler. Way back when, military medical retirement, VA compensation, etc. was based in part upon a principal that the requirements of military service were more stringent than civilian employment. Naturally, things changed over time to what we have (or don't) today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
