What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Pa
I am a 100% disabled vet. I was also medically retired from the civil service due to my disabilities that are linked to my military time. Once i was Medically retired from the fed gov. 6 months later i started to receive ssi for the same disabilities i was retired for and that the va is Compensating me. 2-3 years after i was medically retired i got a letter from the federal gov saying they were reducing my medical retirement the amount of my ssi.
My question is can i get it changed?? They say it is double dipping but i paid into ssi as well into my retirement.. If i paid into both why are they reducing my retirement pay the ssi amount.
Thank you in advance
