No, you don't have to report your SSA to VA. If you were on SSDI that would probably help you get 100% or TDIU but If you are already TDIU 13 years I think you probably should have claimed SSDI instead of waiting for regular SSA at 62. SSA and VA are separate and entirely different systems. Why did you not file for SSDI many yeas ago? That is your business, of course, but SSDI is more that the SSA at 62.

Britton: What you should do is file for SSDI after you put your regular SS claim in. My wife filed for early SS at 62, 2mos later got a DX of Lymphoma, I immediately filed for SSDI on her behalf. Initially denied, awarded a year later with retro back to filing date. This entire time she was receiving her SS less the 20% or so that you loose for taking it early. The SSDI rate is your full SS benefit that you would have received if you waited to 66 or what ever your full boat age is. When my wife reached 66, her SSDI automatically change to Regular SS at her Full Boat 66 amount.

You realize that with Regular SS at 62 or SSDI there is a potential problem with any earned income. With IU you just can't get above the Gainful Employment Income level of $12,???.00 per year currently. Otherwise your receipt of SS or SSDI has no bearing on your VA IU Comp.

With social security, there is no "problem" with earned income, but after you earn so much, your social security is taxable..you should check with your accountant on your situation and social security, here:

As far as SSDI, you can "earn" income, but check here or the ss website:
