There is an income threshold for the VA non-service-connected disability pension. So, it depends upon how much you receive from Social Security whether you would be eligible for any amount of the disability pension. The income threshold was/is $10,929.00, but should be increasing in December 2007. Check out the va.gov website for more info.
Yes, if you qualify under both programs you can receive Social Security disability or retirement compensation and VA benefits at the same time without a reduction in benefits for either.

Yup, you can collect any pension money coming to you without it affecting your social security.
Social Security Retirement & Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) are. Supplemental Security Income (SSI) are not.
As a disabled veteran, I am witness to such cases where the veteran does collect veterans administration and social security disability. Usually the veteran is receiving VA. disability at the 100% rate. Social security will fight awarding it, usually based on the applicants age. The older you are though, the easier it is to collect both.
No, but most can generally receive social security once they are out.

Only if the person works and has paid into Social Security.
No, but if you are not on Social Security disability, you must be at least 65 years old to enroll.
In most cases, people will not be able to receive social security disability if they move overseas. However, each case is different and there is no way to know until the Social Security Administration makes a decision.
You may very well be able to receive Social Security Disability depending on what kind of Illness you have. There are guides they can mail you for more information.
