Alternatively, some veterans receive veterans disability benefits before applying for Social Security disability. VA disability benefits, also known as service-connected disability, is not based on income, so you can receive VA disability compensation and Social Security disability insurance (SSDI) at the same time.

While the veterans disability system allows the VA to conclude that a vet is 10% or 40% or 100% disabled and then receive benefits based on that determination, in the Social Security system, it is all or nothing.n addition, the definition of disability used by the Social Security system stipulates that your condition must last or be expected to last for at least one year or to result in death.
