You may be able to receive both social security disability and workers compensation. It depends on the amount of your earnings in the years before you stopped working, and the amount of your workers compensation benefit. Question: Can I get social security disability benefits, and veterans benefits.

Yes. In Pennsylvania, if you’re receiving workers’ compensation benefits, it may seem that filing for Social Security disability benefits is unnecessary. Nothing could be further from the truth. For someone who may not work for at least a year or more, there are significant reasons to consider filing for Social Security disability benefits, even before workers’ compensation benefits end. Social Security disability benefits are insurance benefits, so eligibility for receiving them has a time limit. Generally speaking, you must prove you are disabled within five years of ending your employment. For example, someone who is injured in 2001, and stops working for wages that year, must usually establish disability by some time in 2006. Waiting until the workers’ compensation claim is resolved in 2008 will make it more difficult to obtain the medical evidence and testimony necessary to establish disability before 2006. Therefore, if you expect to be out of work for more than a year due to you
