The law permits disabled veterans to receive both VA benefits and Social Security disability benefits. The two programs do not offset or interfere with each other at all.
If you are a recently disabled veteran, you should apply for Social Security disability now. You may eligible to receive more than $2,500 per month in addition to your VA benefits.
Even if you are not yet discharged from active service, Wounded Warrior provisions make it possible to apply for SSDI benefits now. You should let your advocate or attorney know if you have a VA disability rating, as this may speed up and help with your SSDI claim.
Your military pay may not interfere with SSDI eligibility. However, if you are working a non-military job after leaving the service, you may not be eligible for SSDI benefits.
My office handles a lot of veterans claims and we will work with you to determine the benefits you can qualify for. Call us for a free consultation at no obligation.
