Can you receive social security and VA disability at the same time?

i think you can draw ssi and disab. at the same time but what ever you draw on disab. will be taken away from what you would normally draw ssi...suppose you should draw 400 ssi and your drawing 200 disab. then you would only draw 200 ssi...there is no getting ahead of the ol' government....they get ya one way or the other...lol

Sorry to tell you this, I dont agree with it, but this is the way it works. If you file your VA claim within 1 year of discharge, they will give you back pay to the date of dicharge. If it is more than 1 year before you file for disability, then your pay starts from the date that the VA grants you benifits.  I dont know why they do that but that is how it is set up

If your new spouse has medical insurance it will cover the bills as primary coverage, medicare will cover any in hospital expenses left over. The two sources of income will be added together at the end of the year for the IRS to determine how much of your disability payments will be taxed> That is it. I hope your new spouse will mean more to you than your monthly check, if not give him or her a break and stay single any

Yes there is. I am on one at the moment. Its called a disability support pension and the commonwealth government provides it. The amount you get depends on what your circumstances are..if you live with your parents, your income etc. I get around $300.00 per fortnight. But as I said, when your considered independant you get more... around $400.00. They require you to fill in a few forms and provide a medical certificate from your doctor. Hope that helps!

You should advise your Comp & Pen examiner of all of the issues you have claimed on your VA Form 21-526, to wit those physical and mental disabilities that you feel are directly related to your active duty service, and any pre-military existing conditions which you feel were exacerbated by your active duty service. Dependent upon the time difference between your separation from active duty,(to include service in the ready reserve), and your initial claims filing you should also advise the examiner of disabling conditions you are currently experiencing, that you feel may be related to the above aforementioned conditions. You should have already affiliated with an approved Veteran's Organization, eg AL, VFW, PVA, DAV, and signed VA-Form 21-22 Power of Attorney so that you will have the services of a trained represenative dealing with the VA. To do some of your own research, VA law is 38 United States Code, 38 Code of Federal Regulations, and other attendant VA rules. For these www.cornell.law.edu. You will also find the Federal Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims at that site. Search "precedent opinions". At va.gov search Office of General Counsel, also "precedent opinions. Make sure that when applying laws, regulations, and rules that the dates are such laws, etc. extant at the date of your filing of a claim. Good luck and God Bless. At this early stage SSI is not relevant unless you have been examined by one of their licensed physicians and have medical evidence supporting your claim of identical disabilities as submitted in your claim.

Applying for Social Security Disability or retirement can be a very drawn-out process. They are probably starting to process your claim. As hard as it seems, be patient and don't let all the waiting and stress of it get you down.

Yes you can. If you can not return to your usual occupation because of a disabilty but can perform another occupation in your current state you are allowed.  But you must notify the Social Security Adminstration.  An Example,  A construction worker has a heart attack and can no longer lift objects over 10 pounds, therefore he can't o his job.  But he can answer phones or be a cashier. The SSA will pay the difference of what you were making and what you are now making.\n\nEx.   Made 1,000 a week in construction, now as a cashier you make 300$ a week, they will send you a check for 700$ a week. Get it?  Talk to your lawyer about it and see what the exact medical restrictions you have. If the government either see's you working somewhere else and you don't tell them you can be arrested for fraud.

More than likely you will need to apply for SSI disability which is much less that Social Security Disability but is much faster to get approved on.  The good thing is once you are put on Social Security Disability they make it retro-acative back to the date you filed for it.

They recieve a full honors funeral including salute, flag presentaion, color guard and headstone. and the family will still recive SGLI (life insurance) and death gratuity. They will also recieve Social Security if eligable. However, VA will not give any benifits such as DIC, SBP, or educational benifits. My husband died, while on active duty, from huffing dust-off. It was classified "accidental due to intentional misconduct."

If you receive SSDI, there is a trial work period.  If you are in your trial work period, you can earn an unlimited amount & keep your entire benefit.  After the Trial work period & an extension--then your benefits will stop. . .but if you are not able to work in the future, there is an easy-on protection.  You should always check with the Social Security Administration before planning your future though. The ssa.gov web site is particularly rich with information.

Usually a person keeps the disability income (if it is Social Security) because being married does not affect whether or not you are disabled.  Other programs, such as Food Stamps, help with Medicare premiums and medication may be affected due to the increas in income in the household.  Check www.SocialSecurity.com for details.

Social Security is a federal program so your benefit amount will not change. However, if for some reason you receive Medicaid in addition to Medicare, the quality and standards could be different.  Also consider cost of living (your check may stretch farther in some areas) and access and quality of support services.  I have heard horror stories from out of state clients about their former support services and they think I'm a hero for returning their phone calls!

are you trying to obtain the records from the Social Security office? This would not be the correct manner in which to receive them. Go to the medical providers and receive your records that they sent to SSDI
