You cannot receive more than $985 a month and still get VA pension. If you get more SS than $985 VA will stop pension. The combination of the two cannot be more than $985, to receive VA pension. If you receive $300 from SS VA will reduce your pension payment to $685, so the two equal $985. If you have PTSD, you should apply for SC, as you can receive VA comp and SS. Also, if you took a reduced SS, at age 62, retirement age, you should apply for SSDI, as it pays the full rate. jmo
