  1. I have been married for 15 years and 3 years ago we seperated when my wife went to work. I just received a notification from the VA that my income for 2009 was $19,000 over the acceptable limit for my disability pension, and I will loose my check. During this time my wife had a seperate bank account and lived elsewhere. We both wrote statements to that effect but the process is starting within 60 days. My problem is that I have 100% disability (heart and lungs) and can not work. I want to stay married and possibly live with my wife but her income would not support the both of us and I'm barely getting by on my pension. I served in Korea during 1968-1971 did not see combat and received a General Discharge under Honerable Conditions. Two years after my discharge the VA did an operation on my heart to repair an atrial septal defect which is what my pension is based on and possibly my childhood case of TB. My questions: Is there any way I can keep my pension and live with my wife again? Should I consider applying for service connection? I honestly believe the government should not force me to live in poverty or divorce my wife in order to live with her just because she works.
