can a disabled vet collecting benefits have additional income and if so,how much?

Answer 1

It depends on where you live. Contact your government social services, and they will advise you.

Answer 2

It depends on what benefits you are collecting. I am a disabled vet and I was able to work some because I did not collect 100% serviced connected. It did not affect what I recieved from the VA. I worked and filed my taxes just like everyone else. I became fully disabled with medical problems not related to but agravated by my service connection medical problems. I now draw Social Security Disability for 100% incapable of working, and my VA disability for my
50% service connection. Should the conditions I am recieving compensation from the VA become worse and they raise my compensation it will still not affect my SSD.

Answer 3

well, I think the answer is yes you can. Giving you are a certain age say 65 you would be able to qualify for Social Security. Your VA benefits are non taxable income. So they will not be acredited to the SSA.

I am a disabeled widow of a deseased, disabeled Veteran. So in a few years when I am 50 , I am entitled to my deceased husbands Social Security. There is supposed to be a law, in which they can not account un-taxable VA benefits into the amount that Social Security provides. But I would have you call the VA and ask for a representative and ask them all the questions about that. Good luck to you and Happy Thanksgiving.

Answer 4

This is NOT quite as straight-forward as others have answered. It very much depends on WHAT benefits you are receiving. For instance if you receive Income Support or an Income Support top-up to your Incapacity Benefit then you are entiled to 'earn' the pricely sum of £5.00 per week. Every £1.00 over that and you lose £1.00 from your benefit entitlement.

If you have CAPITAL of more that £3000.00 this too could affect your entitlement to benefit since the Department of Work and Pensions have a notional tariff income from that capital.

There are also similar (albeit more generous) provisions contained in the Housing Benefit and/or Council Tax benefit regulations too, so be VERY CAREFUL!!!

Answer 5

feels like there is an SSI worker in Ohio who isn't doing their job! The SSI worker ought to have referred the disabled person to a Social protection claims rep to take and technique a declare for a infants incapacity benefit (some call it a disabled grownup little one). SSI regulation demands that an SSI beneficiary record for the different benefit they'd get to cut back down on the fee of the SSI software. If a determine is receiving Social protection incapacity or retirement reward and that they have got an single little one who grew to grow to be disabled before the age of twenty-two, that youngster could be entitled to incapacity reward on the checklist of that determine. If the youngster's social protection benefit could be under $718 then the youngster will proceed to receive an SSI benefit (albeit a discounted one). If the youngster's social protection benefit could be $718 or extra effective than no SSI could be payable. After 24 months of entitlement the youngster could be entitled to Medicare. in spite of if the SSI benefit is eradicated it would not advise that the youngster could no longer stay entitled to Medicaid; it in basic terms potential that Medicaid eligibility is now no longer computerized and the youngster might would desire to circulate to the county welfare workplace and persist with for Medicaid coverage.

Your VA benefits are not effected by any thing but your disability rating. Just make sure you make it all of your medical appointments. Work or schooling don't come into play here. When you draw for the Social Security Admin. then you have issues.
