I am a 50% disabled vet and under current law there is no way any lump sum payment from the government would effect VA disability payments. When a vet applies for disability the VA does not ask what other sources of income he receives. The only exception to this is for vets who have retired for length of service.

I am 60%, and familiar with the procedure, but – as you stated – “under current law”. Laws can and are changed. Look what happened to the GI Bill after WW II and Viet Nam.
