Question:
I am being told even though my only form of income is from veterans disability that I have to pay probation fees I am very broke and it’s hard on me right now are they allowed to take my veterans disability money for probation fees in the state of Pennsylvania.
Jim's Reply:
A disability payments can't be "taken" or garnished. However, if the state tells you to pay a fee, then you'll have to pay it no matter where the money comes from. Veterans are only afforded so much protection and it ends pretty quickly. I believe you'll have to pay those fees.
