Have a retired Navy shipmate working in the shipyard who is drawing CW03 over 24 retired pay and 100% disability. My guess is that equates to north of $5,500 a month gross. And by the time he's 62 he'll also have a several hundred dollar FERS pension to go with it so I asked him if he'll take SS when eligible and he said, "Not unless I have to" ... so I guess he intends to work till he dies but I know his wife is going to take the bounty and head back to Thailand as soon as he croaks.

How can he be working and drawing 100% disability?

Sorry ... I should have noted it's VA disability vice social security disability.

VA 100 percent disability ratings can be confusing
