Referred to the Subcommittee on Disability Assistance and Memorial Affairs.
Summary
The TDIU Reform Act adds a new section to Title 38 that lets the Secretary of Veterans Affairs award a total disability rating when a veteran is unable to secure substantially gainful employment due to service‑connected disabilities. It sets clear eligibility thresholds—either one disability rated 60% or higher, or a combination that reaches at least 70% with one disability of 40% or more—while ignoring non‑service‑connected conditions. The bill also defines marginal employment, caps benefits for veterans 67 or older, and outlines a review process for cases that don’t meet the strict criteria.
