Re: social security disability veterans disabilty
You can in many instances receive both. However the first issue is whether your disability is something related to your service in the military which is difficult to prove absent a combat wound. Check with Disabled American Veterans who in many cases will represent you in front of the Veterans Administration.
Good Luck!!
