Yes you can attempt to go back to work without losing your benefits. The Social Security Disability department has special rules that help you keep your cash benefits and Medicare while you test your ability to work. These rules are called "work incentives" or "employment support" programs.
The resources available can help with rehabilitation, finding an employer and even assist you in receiving benefits again immediately if you have to stop working again. There is a full section of the SS website devoted to this specifically, which I have added as a related link.
If you have been on disability for more than 24 months, you can earn an average of $1,000 per month ($1,640 if legally blind) without the Social Security Administration considering the work "substantial gainful employment" (SGA) and triggering a continuing disability review (CDR). If you earn more than $720 per month, the income counts toward your nine-month trial work period.
If you have been on disability for 24 months or less, any work attempt may trigger a CDR, requiring you to demonstrate your disability still prevents you from engaging in full-time work.

Yes, if your disability insurance policy has a benefit that is integrated with social insurance benefits.Most employer paid disability insurance policies are integrated with social security benefits, because of the lower premium they have to pay. Individual disability insurance plans can be purchased with or without social security integration.

Can you receive disability from your job and disability from social security at the same time?
Yes, it is very common for disability insurance plans to include a clause for social security disability, meaning the insurance company will pay a portion of the monthly benefit, expecting that you would apply for social security benefits to pay for the "Supplemental Social Security benefits". In the event you get declined by Social Security, then the insurance company would cover the additional supplemental benefits. Employer group plans as well as individual disability insurance plans can include that clause.
