My VA County Rep told me if you are on SSDI and have the rating stated on the video. That you can get it . But you need to show proof that you are getting SSDI . Like the form you get once a year to show your increase of COL.
Does IU ever go away? For example 15 years ago someone was IU with 90% than pact act happened and the Veteran got some additional rating that put him at 100% scheduler. Does the IU drop ?
The thing to keep in mind is that IU is really only a *justification* for a rating of "total disability" or "100%". If a veteran is rated as 100% due to service connected disabilities, they don't gain an advantage in compensation under UI. The best reference for this is 38CFR 4.16 which says in part "It is the established policy of the Department of Veterans Affairs that all veterans who are unable to secure and follow a substantially gainful occupation by reason of service-connected disabilities shall be rated totally disabled." Now to the tricky part of your question..."Does the IU drop?". I'm suspicious that individual unemployability stops being the justification for VA disability compensation. The 100% rating becomes the justification. Reference to IU may disappear from documents. But I suspect the VA keeps the records associated with IU with the person's file (although I can't find any benefits that would use that information). Since @derekkelly5597 is also following this question...send me a note at chuck.weko@gmail.com if this answer isn't satisfying.

I had no problem verifying my employment. 100%IU P&T, with Soc. Sec. and Military retirement- concurrent pay.
That's good to hear.
I am 100 % TDIU and trying to get a VA home loan. They denied me a COE because I didn't have enough points with my 6 years of National Guard service?
Why not tell it right? You can work, if you don't manage to keep being employed for a Year you don't lose your tdiu. Fill in the blanks correctly.
How far back does the VA go for employment history? I haven’t worked since 2017
The form that veterans fill out (VA Form 21-8940) asks for 5 years of employment history in block 18.
www.vba.va.gov/pubs/forms/VBA-21-8940-ARE.pdf
Just a few blocks, not years. They look at the number of jobs you had.
I'm PTD at 100%...forgot to tell you below.

The biggest obstacle I see is the form for employers to fill out. It seems likely that they’d be reluctant at best, or downright hostile at worst.
I think you are 100% correct. I feel like a veteran would have to approach this situation carefully and with real "intent".
Don’t do this if you want to keep your 2nd amendment right. You will lose it. I did
How? I am 100% P/T TDIU!!!
@ Fluidity. Keep from having someone else handle finances. I fell into that trap.
WRONG.
@@Hannoshobazz_Neolmech No it’s not! They took mine
you would not loose your second amendment.
