No, the two are independent of each other. You can receive your full benefit for both programs simultaneously.
No, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) cannot take a percentage of Social Security funds. Social Security benefits and VA benefits are separate and administered by different government agencies. VA benefits are based on military service and disabilities, while Social Security benefits are provided to individuals who have paid into the Social Security system through employment.
Yes, a widow can potentially receive both a VA widows pension and Social Security benefits. However, the amount you receive from each program may be affected by the other, as some benefits may offset each other. It's recommended to consult with both the VA and the Social Security Administration for personalized guidance on your specific situation.
No. These benefits are not paid by the states, but by the Federal government, so New York cannot "freeze" them
VA disability compensation is not taxable income that you would report on your 1040 income tax return. IF you do not have any other gross worldwide income to be reported on your 1040 income tax return. None of the social security benefits will be taxable income to you and you would NOT be required to file a federal 1040 income tax return
no it dose not, its is concidered a non taxable income, much like social security disabilty income
Yes, it is possible to receive both Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and VA disability benefits simultaneously. However, the two programs are separate and have different eligibility criteria.

It's essential to report all sources of income when applying for SSDI, as it can affect the benefit amount.

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.
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.
