HadIt.com Elder Hoppy Posted December 6, 2006 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted December 6, 2006 lobo. It sounds like the house is exempt. Check out the link below. They raised the base rate to 80,000.00 http://veterans.house.gov/democratic/dc/10...-05benefits.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HadIt.com Elder john999 Posted December 7, 2006 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted December 7, 2006 SSDI is much more human when it comes to small earnings. What is it $800 a month you can earn before you get in trouble with the SSA. If you are IU I think you get in trouble immediately if you make a dime. Why can't we earn a few dollars if we are able to supplement our IU. I am not talking about 40 hours a week. If I could earn 10 hours a week in minimum wage I would feel better. I volunteer but I am usually treated like shit and it is humiliating to work for free and be treated like you time is worthless. Work is therapy and great for self esteem. The VA system of compensation for severely disabled makes it worse and is a great disincentive to try to improve. You get better you get you rate cut along with the loss of all the other benefits that come with a total rating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
