Can Veterans Get VA Individual Unemployability (TDIU) After Age 65?

[@uslivingourdreamdouglouise7426]

This past October of 2023 I was rated 70 % PTSD and a static condition I’ve had since 2008 of 40%. My total over all ratings 80%. I filed within 30 days after receiving the 70% rating in October for TDIU and I received my decision in February of this year 2024 of 100% P&T with TDIU ! My SSI decision in 2008 stated by Social Security stated then I was unemployable in 2008 which I also used my Social Security decision as evidence along with my evidence from the VA exams leading up to my 80% in October 2023. I’m 73 years old I’ll be 74 in February 2025 and I’m now 100% P&T with TDIU with my conditions being static. (Vietnam Veteran) 👍🇺🇸👍

I applied for TDIU in Sep 2023, was denied and closed as MOOT because I became 100% P&T in March 2024. I appealed because my I have not been able to work since May 2023 because of my depression and other things. I won the appeal and granted the TDIU back dated to last day of work. age 55

The same thing happened to me "MOOT"

Can I Please ask a question? I am going through something similar, now. I was in an accident in 2021, the day I went on terminal leave. put the military will not grant me TDIU for the time I was in physical therapy and not able to work. Did you do a supplemental, HLR, or hire a lawyer?

[@johnb1571]

@@theonlyone-xc3pu I did an appeal with a lay-statement that laid everything out in timeline order. VA already had the evidence. I also got a Vocational Expert as well (~$1400). The VE memo with everything else got my TDIU back dated to the day after my last day of work (2 months difference from 100%P&T). The VA does not have the ability to rule against a VE. I also used the same VE memo to send in for SSDI claim as well. That claim is still ongoing. I hope this helps, Good Luck!!

[@BR54966]

I too was twice turned down by the VA for TDIU as "MOOT" before I was 100% PT. CC & K is helping me

[@theonlyone-xc3pu]

Same situation, and I have medical records from my motor vehicle accident showing that I was not able to work

[@RandyRhode-yq5hq]

I am 74. I got TDIU 100% P&T 2 years ago. I am 90% scheduler. I did have to apply for an increase. My only health problems are because of my disability. I have a condition on the service presumption, chronic disease list.

[@silverdon55]

I did. Age is not and has never been an issue regarding disability from the VA. There have been several attempts to make it so but they have all failed to date.

[@MC-.-]

I’m 63 and am 80% overall rating and have been receiving benefit tdiu. I have been since 2000. I am supposed to be untouchable after 20 years of continuous disability and tdiu. Should I be concerned?? Am I not grandfathered in?

[@GROOVIN2050]

I am 66, combined service connected disability rating of 70. My lawyer petitioned for TDIU and was denied.

[@AlstonSD]

Thank you and keep up the great work

[@kimmiller3731]

How do you put in for extra scheduler

[@ymmasray]

My iu plus 50 % was 90% which I was paid at 100% age 58

[@lovelove-er9lq]

Can you do a video on old Neihmer claims being reopened now by the VA.

[@oldArmyVet]

I'm getting ready to file for tdiu

[@MsYourMama2T]

I just turned 66 a few days ago. Since 2006, when VA finally admitted that I had a Military Service Connected Disability, I am 100% P/T or T/P, (I get it mixed up). But, what I would like to know is can I be qualified to receive TDIU based on my present rating from VA???

[@robertjimenez6859]

are there any fees for your help ?

[@tonycasello6121]

Tdiu/Iu applies to any age. It doesn’t matter if you already had a career and are retired. As long as you meet the criteria for tdiu you are eligible to apply for it. Age doesn’t matter for va benefits. Being 55 doesn’t matter either.

[@rodelramos9963]

I am 66 years old a retired Navy with 100% disability rating and collecting SS, can I apply for TDIU (and I don't know what TDIU stands for)?

[@johnmartin9823]

TDIU is Total Disability Individual Unemployability. It means you can draw at a 100% rating if you are not rated at 100%. I guess you could apply for it but, since you are already drawing at 100%, it would do nothing for you. You cannot draw both. And a scheduked 100% rating is much better than TDIU.

[@tkdbob2021]

⁠100% scheduler you can still work with no income limitation. TDIU has a very low income limit from working a job. There are some exceptions but few and far between. If you like being retired and not working then it doesn’t matter. I wouldn’t rock the boat but that’s just me.

[@johnmartin9823]

@@tkdbob2021 Wha you said is true about working. I should have mentioned that. Thanks..

Thank you for watching! Your feedback is greatly appreciated!

Thank you for helping to educate veterans. Keeping politics out of the lesson can't be easy when the aspiring dictator is denigrating us. 🇺🇸

[@jonderek4647]

I agree, the communist comrade hates the military

[@rdking8001]

What if I’ve been struggling with my health and work I’m 61 now I am thinking I would have to retire soon because of my health/ disability say I got it at age 63-64 would this be for the remainder of my life?

[@larryyouguessame6078]

I have been TDIU for 28 years..if I had been able to work I would have a 401k of 500k..now at 70 they want me to be in the poor house?..to help billionaires get better tax breaks?🙄🤦‍♂️

[@richardnelson9236]

I’m totally a 120% Va math pays me 80%. For lower back Been denied 2x for my feet which I was med Discharged for for my feet. HLR was denied.🤷‍♂️
