I work at a VA clinic and three employees here work full time and are 100%.
(ADDED by McHammer38)
There are actually two ways to receive 100% VA disability. One is to be rated 100% based off the severity of your service-connected disability and the other is called Individual Unemployability (IU).
Individual Unemployability is a part of the VA's disability compensation program that allows the VA to pay certain veterans compensation at the 100% rate, even though the VA has not rated their service-connected disabilities at the total level.
A veteran must be unable to maintain substantially gainful employment as a result of his/her service-connected disabilities. Additionally, a veteran must have:
· One service-connected disability ratable at 60percent or more, OR
- Two or more service-connected disabilities, at least one disability ratable at 40 percent or more with a combined rating of 70 percent or more.
Veterans who are in receipt of Individual Unemployability benefits may work as long as it is not considered substantially gainful employment. The employment must be considered marginal employment.
- Substantially gainful employment is defined as employment at which non-disabled individuals earn their livelihood with earnings comparable to the particular occupation in the community where the veteran resides.
- Marginal employment is generally deemed to exist when a veteran's earned income does not exceed the amount established by the U.S. Census Bureau as the poverty level for the veteran only.
Though it may sound counter-intuitive, if the veteran gets a rating of 100% disabled, he is allowed to work full time. This was explained to me by a VA counsellor. It made sense at the time, but I can't recall the logic now.
Hope that helps.
