Hello fellow expats. Was wondering if anyone had info if social security enrollment affecting VA benefits? - @arablacq3

In most cases, veterans can receive Social Security retirement benefits and VA compensation at the same time.

In all cases veterans receive Social Security benefits and VA compensation a the same time.  If you are asking if a Veteran receiving VA disability and Social Security disability concurrently I know some that do receive both.

Thank you for correcting me. Nice to know, in all cases, not most. I'm sure this news will get to veterans currently receiving SSI; it will substantially increase their monthly payment. What would we ever do without these forums?
