Can someone receiving disability benefits get kicked off of medicaid insurance?
No. However, disability income may exceed the standard in the person's State. In such a case, the person will have a spend-down to meet before qualifying for Medicaid.
Can an attorney help with Medicaid application?
If you are applying for Medicaid on the basis of disability and you are not already receiving Social Security disability (RSDI or SSI), you might want to hire an attorney who specializes in Social Security disability. (Medicaid follows the Social Security rules for disability.)
What if you are unable to work and cannot collect disability?
Some people have to sue for disability. Social Security has disability and some jobs have it. If you have not worked long enough you might need to file for medicaid.
Can you draw disability and Medicaid?
Yes; however, if your disability income exceeds the threshold in your State, you will have a "spend-down."

If your income exceeds the Medicaid standard in your State, you will have to "spend down" the excess to qualify for Medicaid.

Social Security benefits (retirement and disability) count as income for Medicaid. However, Supplemental Security Income (SSI) does not count as income for Medicaid.

You may receive Medicaid and Medicare disability at the same time if you meet eligibility factors, principally citizenship and limited income/assets.

VA disability does not automatically make one eligible for Medicaid; you will have to submit your medical records to Medicaid. However, it seems likely to me that you would qualify.

What is presumption disability is this typr considered when one applies for SS Disablity in general?
Presumptive disability is NOT considered when you apply for SSDI. This category of benefits only applies to Medicaid and SSI benefits. If you have one of the conditons that triggers presumptive disability review under those systems, I would advise trying to get Medicaid coverage ASAP while waiting for your SSDI determination.
