## Situation Overview
My wife’s disability benefits have been reduced by half unexpectedly, all because a company we have never even heard of reported that she made $40k in 2022. This has caused significant financial strain on our household, as she has been deemed unemployable and 100% disabled by the VA for the past 15 years.
## Seeking Help
We initially approached the VA, only to discover that the Social Security Administration had flagged her for exceeding the income limit based on this erroneous report. Despite our attempts to rectify the situation, we were told to contact the FTC, which in turn deferred any action until her taxes and wages for 2022 are finalized.

****** just grabbed a
Did you file a police report for identity theft? Wife’s SSN has been used for fraud.
Freeze wife’s credit, also.
First, get a credit report for all 3 agencies and freeze her credit.
I would contact your local Taxpayer Advocate Office and see if they can help.
Next you should contact Oklahoma Lawyers for America’s Heroes Program. which provides free legal services for Veterans.
NAL. Can you contact the company in Alabama and ask them to issue a correction? I suspect their finance department will be interested to know that they’re reporting income for the wrong person.
**I know this one!**
Decades ago I was on vacation with my girlfriend, went to multiple ATMs to get cash, – no cash, just a notice to contact my bank. Had to rely on credit cards for everything to get back home, I thought I was robbed. Got back, went to my bank, and the IRS had frozen all the cash I had back then, about $30K, I was 22yo. I had to visit an IRS office in person, they then told me I owed $52K in taxes, from my business.
I didn’t own a business, so I asked them to print out any information they had about that business, since it was supposedly mine, they finally agreed (the IRS office can give you a print out of every single piece of income that has been reported as paid to you, when and by whom). It was a commercial cleaning company that had used my Social Security Number as their EIN, they owed taxes for 2 years, FIVE YEARS earlier. So right then at the same office I was given the information to file for an Identity Theft investigation, since this is so common, they have a whole process already set up.
I had to send a couple off affidavits by mail to the IRS, a few phone calls from their investigators, and had to file a police report for identity theft providing all the info I was able to gather myself about the business and the owner.
When everything was done I received a letter from the IRS stating that everything had been cleared up and my cash was unfrozen, My bank account was frozen for about 3 months, I had to cash my paychecks in cash to pay rent and bills.
Go to your county Veteran Service Organization, which is usually near job&family services or contact DAV. The VSO can get you into contact with legal, and set you up with a sponsor to get this claim filed and corrected asap. Also, since this creates a hardship, the VSO can help you with food vouchers and utilities if needed. Once per month, for up to 6 months a year. There are resources, there is help!
Good luck! Keep your head up, don’t stop calling and asking! Don’t let the VA win. Also, demand back pay!!! And I do mean demand.
Female disabled veteran here, reach out if you need more help.
This is a textbook issue to call one of you US Senators or your US House Rep on. They will help you.
Senator Lankford: 405-231-4941
Senator Mullen: 918-921-8520
As a former service officer for a decade, file an appeal through a rep for the VA portion of your issue. Explain in as much detail as reasonable to them and request they reinstate benefits and claim extreme financial hardship as a result of this reduction in benefits. A late notice of shut off notice for utilities etc can help expedite your appeal. You could also claim it’s a “clear and unmistakable error” due to the nature of your issue.
I’m a lawyer with some familiarity with VA and SS disability. There are some offsets based on employment, but the rules are very specific.
Your best bet is to contact one of your Senators or Congressman, send in all your paperwork and let them research it to get it resolved. Right now I can’t tell who you need to contact to clear your record, SS, IRS, or VA. None of these agencies play well together and they were particularly dysfunctional during Covid.
The company shut down in 2021, but somebody reported wages for 2022. You’d think this would be an obvious fix. Hopefully it won’t take long to sort it out and when they do. Give you back pay.
Good luck
Is it VA compensation or something else? I have 100% fully disable and they cant take that away even if i work.
Contact your Congressman and your Senators. These are federal issues and you need Federal intervention. No fucking around with front line people.
Did by any chance she have a credit card or bills written off. About 20yrs ago I had a stupid credit card that I ran up. They called and said we will settle for 2/3 what you owe I did. Come tax time they reported it as income because it was a debt that I didn’t pay.
Congressional Representative and Senator usually excel at resolving such issues….well, they used to so give it a try.
You can still file taxes with no income.
Yeah this sounds less like a mistake more like identiy theft so should report it to the IRS and freeze credit
To clarify, did she not receive a proposal to sever TDIU?
Go to house.gov and type in your zip code. Find your representative and contact one of their district offices. Tell the staffer or intern that picks up the phone that you need to speak with a case worker and go from there.
Shady companies do this often. If no one contests this, they can take it off their taxes. If found out they say.. oops sorry. Somebody typed in the wrong SS#. My bad. But if it goes by. They get a 40K Dodge. Contest the hell out of it.
