I was injured at work and am receiving workers comp. Should I file a Social Security disability benefits claim now or hold off until my workers compensation case is settled?
You shouldn’t wait until workers’ compensation expires to file a claim for Social Security disability benefits because you are allowed to do both at the same time. It’s best to file the Social Security disability claim as quickly as possible because there could be a delay between when workers’ compensation ends and Social Security disability benefits start.
