Question:

Hello, I’ve been getting mixed answers for my question about 100% P & T and working. I’m rated 100% P & T and now want to try out working. Will I be able to work without affecting my disability? And lastly when does my date of my disability start?   I was rated TDIU in 2005 and was granted 100% P & T in 2014. Does my start date for 100% P & T in 2014 make that the right year and not 2005? Hope I can get a definite answer. Thank you for your time.

You are allowed to work as you are able to. The date that your rating became permanent is the "start date" of P & T. That may have been in 2005 if the TDIU was permanent,  or it may have been in 2014 if the previous rating was temporary.
