Can I file for Social Security Disability Benefits while my Workers Compensation claim is pending?
If it appears that you may be out of work for more than one year, you should definitely apply for Social Security Disability. You must notify the Social Security Administration of your Workers Compensation benefits, as they are subject to be offset. You may not be approved for Social Security Disability immediately upon applying. If you have trouble with this, you should contact an attorney that specializes in Social Security Disability.
