It has already been said that if you are receiving a retirement pension then your disability is deducted from your pension (However, the disability portion is not taxed). This does not mean that the VA is free to tell anybody about your disability, they are just required to alter your pension.
By the way, Did you at least get twenty-five years of back pay on that $110 per month? If you are awarded a disability it is normally back dated to your day of discharge.
