If a veteran has 90 days of active duty service including 1 day during an official period of war, has been discharged other than dishonorable, and is 65 or older, he/she may apply for an Improved Pension. Household income will be considered by the VA including SS and this total will be deducted from the eligible amount that the veteran may claim. A home on a normal lot, one car and not more than $80,000 in assets at age 65 (Permitted assets declines with age.) will be excluded from consideration. Medical expenses which have not been reimbursed may be deducted from income to determine the eligible pension. The cost of necessary "Aid and Attendence" at home or in a nursing home or assisted living facility may also be deducted from income if not reimbursed by insurance. A veteran or veteran's widow(er) receiving Medicaid in a nursing home is eligible for $90 monthly, which will not affect Medicaid eligibility in some states but the latter must be checked carefully. Unlike Medicaid, the VA does not have a "look-back" provision.

When can I begin collecting Social Security retirement benefits, and can I change my mind if I start collecting too early?
You can get Social Security retirement benefits as early as age 62, but if you retire before your full retirement age, your benefits will be reduced, based on your age. For example, if you retire at age 62, your benefit would be about 25 percent lower than what it would be if you waited until you reach full retirement age. You can still work while collecting your Social Security.
