Will starting a business affect my VA benefits?

Question:

Jim, I was awarded 100% P&T service connected all conditions added up to 100% disability, but employable and medically retired by the Army in 2015. My question is,  can me or my spouse start a business without affecting my disability pay from VA? I can't do much because of all my Conditions. I'm in pain a lot of the time. We live in Florida and don't know if my benefits are different from other states. Basically,  can me or my wife start the business and not be affected by how much we earn? Didn't know if me or my wife started the business if our earnings would affect my VA disability pay because we as a household would be making a lot of money. How does this work? I don't have TDIU. All I see in my paperwork is 100% P&T.

Jim's Reply:

The 100% schedular rated veteran is allowed to work at any occupation he or she reasonably will be able to. VA won't be interested. Good luck!
