The guy he replied to said he had multiple vets working for him with "thresholds" which is extremely statistically unlikely. Especially as the ones covered by TDUI tend to be obviously and severely disabled and he claimed "75%" of his guys were lying about it.

Oh yeah; he is lying :lol:

TDIU is a narrow exception and covers maybe 5% of veterans receiving disability compensation, so roughly 95% have no employment-income threshold at all

I was just trying to point out that it does exist and that people that talk about income thresholds may not be lying.

VA Disability doesn't have an income 'threshold' to worry about, you're just lying

Yes there is. It’s called TDIU. There are 2 types. Schedular and TDIU. Schedular allows you to work while TDIU monitors income and you can lose or have your benefits reduced.
