When the VA issues disability payments to veterans, it doesn’t deduct federal, state, Social Security, or Medicare taxes, nor does the IRS require you to claim VA disability income as part of your gross
income. This includes total individual unemployability (TDIU) and Combat-Related Special Compensation (CRSC). In fact, there are limited circumstances that would allow a veteran who is collecting disability payments to receive a federal tax refund.

VA plans to cut 10,000 jobs this year, mostly from medical sites |
|
|
VA leaders plan to cut about 10,000 full-time jobs from agency offices in 2025 after last year’s hiring focus led to a larger-than-expected workforce. The cuts represent about 2% of the total VA employee count of more than 458,000, the largest total in
department history. Most of the 10,000 cuts will come from medical care sites where retirements and departures were lower than expected last year.

"I would highly recommend the law firm of Woods & Woods to any veteranseeking VA disability benefits. After being denied appeals filed by myself to increase my current 40% disability rating, I decided to engage a veteran’s law firm. As a result of their efforts, by filing an appeal to Veterans Board of Appeals, I was granted a TDIU rating.
Thank you to the wonderful members of the Woods & Woods firm for achieving this rating for me."
- A.J., an Army veteran from Florida
