Social Security Disability Benefits And VA Disability

    The word "disability" means different things at Social Security and at VA. The simplest way of describing one important difference is that Social Security is very much focused on whether the claimant can work while the VA is very much focused simply on how impaired the claimant is. A person who is working full time at regular work won't be able to get on Social Security disability benefits or stay on them long but a 100% disabled vet can receive benefits from VA regardless of any employment. The other big difference between the two programs is that you can get partial disability benefits from VA but not from Social Security. You can get 30% or 70% VA disability benefits but at Social Security it's all or nothing.
