Two months of Hold of VA Benefits (disability) removed

This is a federal debt. Unfortunately, it's completely legal. If you haven't already, you will probably soon recieve an itemized statement from the government explaining the entire process.

Can you provide some more background into eh nature of the debt? IF the debt was owed to the federal government, then yes, they can go after your disability benefits. IF it is a private debt (say a credit card) , then I don't *think* they can. They cannot go ofter your Social Security disability for private debt, so I would think that VA disability would be the same.

no, if it was aprivate debt they would definitely go after wages...It takes a lot to levvy bank accounts.

wages yes, but disability is a different animal. I don't beleive they can touch that (disability). That question has been addressed several times before in the forums.

The only way disability can be touched, at least in the state of Michigan..(And I just know this from training, I've never handled this one before) is if the person committed a crime.

VA payments and disability are two completely different things, tho...I think we may be getting ahead of ourselves.. There's gotta be more to this story! lol

You need to contact the government department that dispurses VA benefits, I am sure they can tell you if that is legal or not. Also, your state attorney general's office would definitely be able to answer that question.
