Will I lose my VA disability if I get a job?

If I get a job, will the VA take away my disability?

If you are receiving VA compensation for a schedular rating, employment will not affect your VA disability benefits. However, if you are receiving VA pension or Individual Unemployability benefits, employment may affect your eligibility. We highly suggest you discuss going back to work with an attorney before you accept a job and change your eligibility status for VA benefits. Remember, there is no cost for legal consultations.
