Additionally, we represent clients based across the United States in Social Security Disability cases, and often act as counsel for local residents with federal cases that must be filed elsewhere. For example, we can help victims of Camp Lejeune prepare their cases (even though those cases must be filed in the Eastern District of North Carolina). We also have contacts with attorneys throughout the country to find you help wherever you need it.

The short answer is that nothing happens to your VA disability benefits when you reach retirement age. As long as you are disabled, your benefits will continue at the same level for the rest of your life.

Yes. The benefit calculations for VA Disability and Social Security Disability do not affect one another, so veterans who are eligible for both can obtain both without penalty. However, you must apply for each separately, and you may not qualify or be approved for both, depending on your specific circumstances. In addition to Social Security Disability, disabled veterans may also be eligible for Supplemental Security Income (SSI) if they meet the financial qualifications. However, since this is a needs-based program, your monthly SSI benefit can be reduced if you are also receiving VA disability benefits.
