No. When you are put on vocational rehab. you get VR disability benefits [same as TD rate], but you can not collect both TDs as that benefit is supposed to be a sum related to your work but less than the full amount of your pay so that yo are motivated top return to work as soon as possible. If you collected more than your wages why would you return to work unless you really loved the job?
