A1: There are Veterans that receive both VA disability as well as Social Security Disability so I do not think that you will lose any benefits. You will however have to adhere to the monthly work earning max which I think is a little over $1,100. But If I were you I would stay under the $750 limit as there are two numbers SS looks at, one is the max ceiling and the lower number keeps you from triggering their system for a possible ticket to work program. You can always visit the SS office in your area so you can get this answer in person and in writing. Or call a SSD lawyer. (MK) 2/18/18
