Is an individual who receives VA benefits allowed to receive Social Security benefits at the same time ?


Social Security does not restrict VA beneficiaries from receiving Social Security disability benefits at the same time. However, Social Security is not a partial disability program; therefore Social Security does not use the same criteria to evaluate an individual’s disability.

Social Security is a total disability program, which means an individual must be unable to work due to their disabling conditions. If you meet the requirements to receive Social Security benefits, you will be able to receive Social Security’s benefits along with your VA benefits.
