Social Security, Va Disability

[Dano50]

I have a few questions here, I was recently approved for Social Security disability and have been requesting and increase of my disability. Can the VA come back and say since you are getting Social Security there is no need to increase your disabilitiy rating . Presently I am 50percent but had to quit my job in September due my disability. Just like info on how the SS plays in the VA roles? I am also collecting unemployment as with SSD they say if you get hired you may have to quit

SSD. My questions are as follows:

1.Since I am requesting my VA to increase the ratings froom 50 to whatever could they come back and say since you get SS we don't need to give you any more money as you are getting it from SS?

2.The SS determined my disability from the VA records. Will this help me in my request to increase my disability?

Thanks.

Did you receive this award? Was the amount as you thought? When were you officially notified you won this, and received your settlement in your bank account?
