You can't do that when you don't have it to spend. My VA disability

only spent S1,000 to buy vehicles in the last 25 years.


If you check carefully you may find that you are allowed a certain (small)
earned income without endangering your VA status.

It's probably something like $4000.



I have asked repeatedly for the last three years, and still haven't
got an answer. Most give me a blank stare, or just shrug, then ignore
me. One hinted that if I earned even $1, I would lose the zero co-pay on
all the medication, and some of the other benefits. To make up for that
amount could cost me the pension, as well. No one is willing to give a
straight answer, and there is nothing on the VA website, or in the
benefits handbook that I can find.



That's not true - but about normal.

I suspect that's because most of them are government class morons who don't
know and don't care.

Do you have a counselor you can trust?
It would be worth the effort to find one.
