Only if your claims are submitted and reviewed by the Social Security office and/or ordered by a court or proper jurisdiction. You can apply for both Social Security disability payments and workers comp (WC) at the same time. However, if you recieve payments by Soc Sec (SS) while waiting for this WC settlement, SS must be paid back before the final settlement WC is released and either way, you must be able to secure the proper medical records and statements by a certified medical professional or doctor as proof of disability to be legally, totally or partially declared disabled.
