These are the answers of some Facebook group members:

”I showed my tax return and my retirement benefit. But I didn’t want that to be my only income to show. With savings amount I hope that shows proof enough”

”I showed my year bank statements and my Va benefit letter and it was approved”

”My husband showed just va benefits letter and we were just approved”

”Show anything you have that proves you get enough to cover the minimum monthly requirements on a regular basis. It doesn’t have to be just savings. Disability award letter, tax returns, bank statements. Provide all. Just one check will not work”

“They did me dirty. They said I need funds too on top of my va disability

In conclusion, according to Spainguru Facebook group members, it’s advisable to provide a combination of documents, such as tax returns, bank statements, disability award letters, or benefit letters, to demonstrate sufficient income to meet minimum monthly requirements. Relying on a single document may not be as effective.
