HadIt.com Elder Pete53 Posted December 16, 2008 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted December 16, 2008 In Texas single and 985 a month entitles you to other benefits including food stamps and medicaid. Don't forget that a VA Pension means that the US Government has certified that you are disabled and you really need to work with your Social Worker. Everyone who is a patient at VA has a Social Worker by the way. Good Luck Veterans deserve real choice for their health care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gp747 Posted December 16, 2008 Author Share Posted December 16, 2008 Pete,you might be right,,however, he could win the lottery.....so why take a chance? i was on pension 10% when i won my 30% sc and pension, they said i was awarded both. however i got sc by their choice and said i could change any time i wanted. so if i change ,my wife works, to pension at 30% would i be better off. i do have secondary claims in. could i change back to sc if it is more?

HadIt.com Elder Philip Rogers Posted December 16, 2008 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted December 16, 2008 skunk, if your wife works full-time, you are probably better off w/comp, which is why the VA probably said that. disabledveteran, jmo, but if someone is on pension they shouldn't be wasting their money on the lottery. pr i was on pension 10% when i won my 30% sc and pension, they said i was awarded both. however i got sc by their choice and said i could change any time i wanted. so if i change ,my wife works, to pension at 30% would i be better off. i do have secondary claims in. could i change back to sc if it is more?
