Do VA Disability payments expire?

I learned that my SSDI benefits expire soon, due to my age/Anticipated Retirement Age. Does my VA disability benefits expire too? When will that meager amount stop coming? It isn't much but it DOES make a difference, to me.

SPC John Moeller After the VA has made its original determination, the monetary benefits continue to be paid to the veteran as long as the disability continues. In certain circumstances, a veteran's disability may be re-evaluated or re-examined, after which the disability rating may be increased, decreased, or remain the same.

SSDI stops at age 65 because SS retirement starts at age 65.
VA only changes if a re-evaluation.warrants a change.

The only thing that will change your disability payments is if an evaluation takes place that increases, decreases your disability rating or deems that the disability is no longer present.
