The Dual Benefit Advantage
A Veteran’s Guide to Receiving Both VA Disability and SSDI
Many Veterans believe that if they receive VA Disability Compensation, they are ineligible for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI).
This is a common and costly misconception.
You earned your VA benefits through your service, and you earned your Social Security benefits through your years of work.
The Facts on Concurrent Receipt
No "Offset" or Reduction
Unlike some federal programs, your SSDI payments are not reduced because you receive VA pay. You are entitled to receive the full amount of both monthly checks
A Different Evaluation
The VA rates you on a percentage of "service connection." Social Security looks at your ability to maintain full-time work. Winning requires an advocate who can translate your military medical records into the specific language Administration Law Judges need to see.
The 100% P&T "Fast Track"
If the VA has rated you 100% Permanent & Total (P&T), the Social Security Administration is required by federal mandate to expedite your claim.
