SSDI & Pension?
Question:
Currently I receive Veteran's Pension, can I also receive Social Security Disability?
Jim's Reply:
Yes. However, the pension benefit is means tested. That tells us that any income you may have will be offset by a more or less equal reduction in the amount of the pension. If the amount of the SSDI were high enough you could potentially lose the entire amount of the VA pension. However, in that case you'd still be ahead with money each month so that would be the appropriate thing to do if you can achieve that. Good luck.
