No, the two are independent of each other. You can receive your full benefit for both programs simultaneously.

No, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) cannot take a percentage of Social Security funds. Social Security benefits and VA benefits are separate and administered by different government agencies.

Can you receive Social Security Disability spouse pension and VA disability spouse pension?

As a disabled veteran, I am witness to such cases where the veteran does collect veterans administration and social security disability. Usually the veteran is receiving VA. disability at the 100% rate. Social security will fight awarding it, usually based on the applicants age. The older you are though, the easier it is to collect both.


Can you collect military disability pension and social security disability?

Yes you can and most often are entitled to both. Each makes it's own separate decisions though. One doesn't automatically make you eligible for the other. You must apply for each one separately. Most people consult an attorney for military disability through service groups usually that can be found with offices at major VA hospitals.


Can you receive Social Security and VA disability pension?

There is an income threshold for the VA non-service-connected disability pension. So, it depends upon how much you receive from Social Security whether you would be eligible for any amount of the disability pension. The income threshold was/is $10,929.00, but should be increasing in December 2007. Check out the va.gov website for more info.
