Can I Draw Disability From The Military And Social Security At The Same Time?

Can I draw a disability from the military and social security at the same time

Hi,

Potentially, yes. Drawing disability from the military or VA would not affect what you could receive in Social Security disability benefits (SSDI). However, I'm not an expert on military/VA disability benefits, so I can't say for certain how those benefits might be affected by your receipt of SSDI.

Best, Jerry
