To receive TDIU benefits, the veteran must apply for disability compensation and fill out two additional forms: Veterans Application for Increased Compensation Based on Unemployability (Form 21-8940) Request for Employment Information in Connection with Claim for Disability Benefits (Form 21-4192)
The TDIU benefit is based on the severity of the individual veterans unique disability picture and its impact on the veterans ability to obtain and maintain substantial gainful employment. Generally, the veteran must have a single disability rated at 60% or a combined evaluation of 70% to be eligible for TDIU.
The VA uses the federal poverty threshold as a strict cutoff for individual unemployability benefits. To qualify for TDIU, you must prove: Your service-connected disabilities make substantially gainful employment impossible. Your annual income stays below $15,650 (2025 threshold for single-person households)

For example, in order to qualify for VA Individual Unemployability benefits, a veteran must: Have at least one disability that has been rated at 60% or higher. Veterans have a combined disability total of 70%, and at least one of these disabilities must be classified at 40%
Specifically, Temporary TDIU benefits become permanent once you are 70 years or older or have received TDIU benefits for 20 consecutive years. After twenty years, a service-connected disability rating is considered continuous and cannot be rated below the original level.
For 2025, the poverty level for a single person was $15,650 per year. This means if you make below $15,650 a year, you can still qualify for TDIU.
