I also get a slight VA Disability check right now.
Thanks for your service.
My Dad is 94 and I'm very proud of him. We went out to lunch today. He was getting a small disability check from VA for WWII and I checked into it and got it increased from $133 a month to $1,450 a month because he'd never claimed his hearing loss, just a battle wound. He was a machine gunner in a tank with no hearing protection. I say that only because while I'm against the government's social giveaways, I support the troops, and we could afford to take care of them without all of the welfare etc. bums, and without all the massive waste from DC. We should take care of our vets.
Here's my Dad. He hit Normandy, fought his way through France into Belgium, and was wounded and shipped out just before what we now call the Battle of the Bulge.
He has a Purple Heart and a Bronze Star for bravery in battle.
