Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Maryland

i have just signed my petition for a chapter 7 bankruptcy. before i filed i asked my veterans affairs rep. if i needed to disclose my monthly compensation as income when filing and he said no. so i did not but i am scared now that if the trustee asks to see my bank statement they will see that i recieve a compensation check every month. so should i have told my lawyer or no?
