About This Video

Many Veterans wonder if they can work and still receive VA disability payments. At Berry Law, Eric Smith, a dedicated Veterans law attorney, explains that you can usually work and retain your disability benefits, even with a rating at or under 100%. The primary exception is for those receiving benefits based on individual unemployability, which restricts employment. Protected employment, such as working for a family business, is an exception that allows for minimal income while receiving benefits. It's important to understand that the VA won't revoke your disability payments simply because you're working. Get the support you need from Berry Law to navigate your VA disability claims.
