Many veterans wonder if they can collect veterans’ disability benefits and social security benefits at the same time. Speaking with a veterans lawyer or a social security disability lawyer can help veterans get answers to their questions. Also, veterans lawyers can help explain the difference between the two programs. They can also help veterans obtain the information they need from the Social Security Administration, which publishes material specifically on the topic of disability benefits for “wounded warriors.” Social Security disability attorneys assist people who have applied for disability benefits and have been denied. Because qualifying for Social Security Disability Insurance benefits can be complicated, a veterans lawyer or social security lawyer can work on the behalf of the disabled veteran to understand the process of obtaining social security benefits. It’s important for people to know that you don’t have to be of retirement age to receive these types of benefits, which social security attorneys can explain.
People who are younger than retirement age, and who can prove they have a disabling physical or mental condition that makes making it impossible for them to participate in substantially gainful work activity, may be eligible to collect SSDI. A veterans lawyer may help a client who is disabled and may not have worked still be eligible for a fixed amount of Supplemental Security Income. Veterans lawyers and social security lawyers understand that the average person’s knowledge on the topic of social security is usually limited. Sometimes it is necessary for veterans lawyers to meet with client’s doctors or healthcare providers. Veterans lawyers who become familiar with clients have a better understanding of the needs of their clients.
