i am allowed to work on my federal disability pension (up to 60% of my income) but i am too sick to do so...

my problem is that altho it is federal disability pension it is not recognized as such when it comes to some benefits..which sucks...same pension...just different name...only difference is i can work...makes me crazy. still living under the poverty level.

if i apply for food stamps i would get say $200 if i was getting soc security disability with my monthly check...

because my federal pension isn't soc sec disability (altho federal disability) i would get $11.

yeah makes me crazy.

the system sucks..it penalizes you
