[QUOTE="mstang67chic, post: 289239, member: 2459"] That's great! This will be a help to her for years to come, I'm sure. Something to be aware of and I'm sure you are but I just learned it last weekend. Any disability payments from the military are NOT affected by having a job in the civillian world. There are no restrictions on how much you can earn and still receive your benefit. The benefit is because you were injured while in the military and they are responsible for you. Period. A friend of ours is getting disability from the military at 70% because his back and knees are in rotten shape from all of his years in and the jobs he did. He just retired this spring and is working as a civillian but can make as much as he wants with no repercussions. 30% may not be much at the rank she was at but it's something and will be a bit extra each month for her. Once she gets on her feet she can always bank that payment and build herself up a nice little nest egg after awhile. [/QUOTE]
