No way do you loose anything. Social Security is entirely separate and different from VA Benefits!

The only way you could loose that is if you have to go before a review board and the find you no longer have those disabilities. I do not know if you have annual VA physical that could rerate you?

SGT Cynthia Borrelli DiBiasio Below is a link to information that should help. You will need to call Social Security direct to get all of the facts as they pertain to your case. Best of luck!

NO! Only should the disabling condition(s) improve or proof of fraud can a 100% award be reduced or stopped. I am 100% with SSDI. When I turn 65 next year, my SSDI converts to regular SS BUT the amount does not go down.
