First of all they CANNOT take your SSD - NOR can they THREATEN To take it either! What they are doing is ILLEGAL. I don't care if they are from the VA or Timbuktu - you have rights. The next time they try that crap take their name, number and any other info you can get and call the state atty general and blow them in. You are protected BY LAW not only as a VET, but also as a citizen, and you are covered by the Social Security Act, the Fair debt collection practice act (FDCPA) and Mental Health laws. I am including some links for organizations that may help advocate for you.

I know they can take a tax return - but NOT SSD - I would call the Atty general, see if they can intervene.

They already did it. The Internal Revenue can and will take any federal assistance you get to pay a federal debt. They already took my income tax return and have informed me they are taking my next two disability checks. There is nothing I can do.
