That is what happened in the late 80s to f-i-l.  They did a big round of 
re-evaluations, though, instead of cutting benefits.  Well, they said they 
weren't cutting benefits but that's what they did.

A lot of my income comes from Veteran's service connected disability due to 
injuries in the service. Usually if we end up with an inflationary 
depression, those on fixed incomes will loose out as the income will not 
keep up with the inflation. If we end up with a deflationary depression, the 
government usually cuts any fixed income it pays. The first thing FDR did 
when he got elected was to cut the Veteran's compensation in half.
