What would vet going for pension need for FDC? He is on SSDI and under 65 with no Vietnam service. No doubt about Parkinson's DX. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder john999 Posted September 30, 2013 Author HadIt.com Elder Share Posted September 30, 2013 Can medical bills etc beused to offset his SSD income. If you just subtract SSD from pension amount he won't get squat. Two people cannot live just on one person's SSD. His wife is his caretaker and must stay at home with him and can't work.
