He is probably being compensated because he can no longer fly planes. That would have given him a bigger income bracket even years ago. This is probably a military pension not a VA pension. There are lots of people who aren't getting 100% disability because they work- but that is VA's rule.
And he is entitled to Social Security, but he is also eligible to pay taxes on it because of his other high income.
However this will not play well here in WV.

he gets the money. what i don't get is why he doesn't refuse it, give it back, isn't better on VA issues. this is something to hit him on and not shy away from (simply because he's a vet). because he's a vet means he should be even BETTER than most towards other vets.
It's like watching an unknown winning a boxing match vs. the world champ and asking him halfway why he didn't knock his opponent out in the first round.

they may turn down help they should be receiving. Spouse is a readjustment counselor for the VA and has to point out to some that they are supposed to get this help. Rather than turning it down, he could donate it to help others with bigger health problems than his because of the war he voted for and promotes.
