    It's not a pension, it is a disability check. It is supposed to supplement your income.

    (Note: Same with the US SS pension checks. It was never meant to be enough to live on. It is only supposed to supplement savings that a person has built up throughout their life.)

    I'm just curious if that $860 is non service connected disability from the VA? Its about the right amount. Catch with that is you can't leave the US without losing it and if do its considered fraud and if caught will not only lose it but forced to pay it back and if lied in a form saying you still were in the US potentially prosecuted. Service connected you own and earned... non service connected is treated differently. Just asking because unwise to move here on that.
