You and your clients can learn how Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits differ from Department of Veterans Affairs benefits, which require a separate application. This information is available at www.ssa.gov/pubs/EN-64-125.pdf.

SS also explains how it expedites the processing of SSDI claims for people who developed a disability while on active military service on or after October 1, 2001. We quickly process these claims regardless of where the disability occurs.

Active-duty military service members may continue to receive pay while in a hospital or on medical leave. They should consider applying for SSDI benefits if they cannot work due to a disabling condition. Active-duty status and receipt of military pay don’t necessarily prevent payment of SSDI.

They’ve earned these benefits! Our web pages are easy to share on social media and by email. We encourage you to check our updated Information for Military and Veterans page at www.ssa.gov/people/veterans/index.html.

Please pass this information along to someone who may need it.
