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.
Only if the retirement disability is not from SSA (e.g., workers' comp or a public disability pension).
One can receive Social Security disability and disability payments from other source(s) at the same time. See the Related Link below.
In the ordinary course of things, Social Secuity benefits are are entitled to anyone at the age of 65. This is called "SSA". What I can not answer is rather or not you and your spouse are both entitled to SSA benefits. As far as his or her being a veteren, that would depend upon his or her status, regarding SSA benefits. My best adivise is that you contact your nearest Social Security office and ask (them) all of the above. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Best regards to you. Jim.
You can not receive both even if your dead spouse could
Yes, if you meet eligibility requirements for both programs you can receive Social Security and VA compensation at the same time without a reduction in either benefit.
Can you receive disability social security and your spouses social security pension
Yes absolutely, my father receives both. Keep in mind that the Government doesn't like giving away money and they WILL send you around in circles for quite some time.
no
Social Security Disability Benefits are available from the American Government. In Canada, they are called Canadian Disability Pension Plan Benefits.

I believe the raise forpersons on disability is 3.9%. Persons on social security receive the 5.9%.
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.
No. It's possible to buy Disablity Coverage while employed, then get disabled while unemployed. There are many types of Disability Coverage.... State Disability, Social Security Disability, Private Individual, etc.
No, but most can generally receive social security once they are out.
You may very well be able to receive Social Security Disability depending on what kind of Illness you have. There are guides they can mail you for more information.
You can visit your local Social Security office or check out their website. To improve on the above-mentioned statement, yes, you can calculate or estimate the amount of the disability benefits you'll receive. The amount of your monthly disability benefit is based on your average lifetime earnings. The Social Security Statement that you receive each year displays your lifetime earnings and provides an estimate of your disability benefit.
There are two ways that a person can receive Disability benefits: from Social Security and/or from an employer or individual Disability policy. If your employer does not provide Disability insurance coverage and you do not have your own individual Disability coverage, you will not be able to receive disability benefits, unless you live in a state that has a state-sponsored plan. In order to receive benefits from a Disability policy, you must actually own one or have coverage through your employer. Additionally you must satisfy the requirements of the contract in order to receive benefits. Social Security benefits only pay benefits on disabilities that are expected to last longer than 1 year or end in death, so you would not qualify for Social Security benefits.
Yes
if your long term disability is integrated with social security disability, then yes. This is the case for most employer paid long term disability plans, or your employee benefits package. If the Long-Term DI policy is an individual plan, not through your employer - you could receive the full base benefit if it's not integraded with Social Security Disability Benefits.
