Hi Jim,
Love your site! I was browsing online and found some info about how to increase your social security by $1,200 a year if you are a vet. I am already 100% disabled by social security and also 100% disabled by the VA, but my social security disability is not service related.
Would I still qualify for this?
Thank you for all you do, the veteran community appreciates this!

Most of all that is automatic. You usually don't need to do anything.

If you aren't sure, your local SSA office will be able to tell you if you need to do anything.
