Can You Receive SSDI and VA benefits at the Same Time

"Can You Receive SSDI and VA Benefits at the Same Time?

✅ Yes, you can receive both SSDI and VA benefits at the same time—but there are key differences and important details you need to know. In this video, we break down how these two programs work together and what you should expect when applying for both.

🔎 Key Points Covered:

SSDI Overview: Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) is for people who have worked, paid into Social Security, and are now unable to work due to a qualifying disability.
VA Benefits Overview: VA disability benefits are for veterans with service-connected disabilities and are rated on a percentage basis (e.g., 10%, 30%, 100%).
No Benefit Reduction: Receiving VA benefits does NOT reduce your SSDI payments, and SSDI payments do NOT reduce your VA benefits.
Key Differences: SSDI is based on work history and disability severity, while VA benefits are tied to military service and are rated on a percentage scale.
Special Case: If you’re receiving Total Disability Based on Individual Unemployability (TDIU) from the VA, you may still qualify for SSDI if you meet the criteria for both programs.
⚖️ Should You Apply for Both?
Since SSDI and VA benefits are separate programs with different rules, qualifying for one doesn’t guarantee you’ll qualify for the other. However, many veterans successfully receive both types of benefits.
