If the VDBC studies SSDI and recommends a payment offset to VA benefits, many disabled veterans could find their income decimated. An offset would mean that the veteran could receive one of the payments (the higher dollar amount) but not both. Also of importance is the fact that at age 65 SSDI benefits revert to regular Social Security. This would mean the payments recognized as Social Security ?retirement? would be reduced, as well.
This complicated situation should be decided at the VDBC?s May 19 meeting. Concerned veterans and their families are urged to write Commission members, especially Gen. Scott.
