Question

I have afriend that completed 21 years in prison. Upon returing to society he was given 100% SC for PTSD. Social Security turned him down for SSI because he had to much income from the VA. and also because he had not worked for the past 10 years. My question is, is this correct or is there another way to obtain these benifits?

Yes it is correct. SSI is income based please see www.ssa.gov for indepth information and income levels. No there is no other way to obtain these benefits if you exceed the income levels established by the government. Sorry. There may be some state benefits which might help him so please visit you local state benefits office.
