United States

In the United States, the Social Security Administration is responsible for federal disability benefits as well as retirement and survivors' benefits, Supplemental Security Income, and several other related social programs.

There are 2 federal programs under the U.S. Social Security Administration that are designed to provide disability benefits to injured/disabled workers or individuals with little income and few resources. The first is Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and the second is the Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Persons with disabilities may apply to either depending on their qualifications, so as to receive monthly financial assistance to help make ends meet while they are unable to work for a living or if they totally have no means of earning.

The department of health and social security is now called the department for work and pensions and whatever benefits you receive are paid from one of their offices albeit that income support and job seekers and most other benefits are granted and sent out from offices here in England your disability living allowance comes from Belfast from the dla office based there and although your DLA is indeed a state benefit it is not what you would call social security benefits which are there for you to live on and DLA is not for you to live on but there for your quality of life and therefore does not come under the same section in the benefits office.

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.
