TDIU after the Age of 70

[john999]

My question is how the VA looks and keeps track to TDIU vets who are over 70 years of age?  I am P&T for the last 18 years. I am officially housebound.  Is VA still checking up on any earnings I might have via SSA or IRS?  No chance of me getting 100% schedular unless I get a lot sicker.  I am 90% with TDIU now.  Not that I intend to try to work. I have only passive earnings from investments.  Very lucky in that regard, but it took almost 40 years to get there.  Don't let people tell you how to get rich quick with hot tips and fantastic business deals.

They are still probably looking at IRS every year like they do now, but you aren't working anyway, so you don't have anything to worry about there.

                I wish I could work.  I wonder if the VA will one day say I am too old to work so I no longer have valid case for TDIU?  My brother works and he is almost as old as I am.  When we lose our ability to work we lose a lot.  I lost many contributions to my pension and my 401-K.  I don't think people really know what it means to lose ability to work in the USA.   I knew people who were 80 years old who worked with me at the USPS.  One old guy was in a nursing home and came back to work at the USPS.   That's dedication I guess.

As CCK law explains, your age is not a consideration for TDIU:

Or, See 38 CFR 4.19
