DIB and Inheritance IRA

[dunnymom]

HI, I am on disability and have been for the last 10yrs.-Recently my dad died and has left me a IRA and I need to know if this will affect my disability. Also, a inheritance IRA says you have to rec money each month from the ira-will this affect my disability

[Mr. Knowitall]

DIB benefits are based on your work history and disability, and thus should not be means tested. SSI benefits are means tested, and thus an inheritance can affect qualification.
