If you retire abroad, can you keep receiving your VA disability pay?

You will receive it regardless of where you live. In fact, there are enough veteran ex-pats living in the Philippines, that the VA has an out-patient clinic and a VBA Regional Office located there.

Yes, you will continue to receive them. Lots of expats in Panama.

That is actually a most useful question, in fact....

Yes, but remember, the VA loves to change things around periodically. I know the longest enlisted Viet POW, and the VA out of nowhere down graded his disability. He had to fight for a year to get it restored. Hard to do outside CONUS
