You could be subject to unemployment fraud if you do collect, because by definition, to qualify for full disability you would be unable to work. There might be a loophole somewhere, but you should check with the unemployment office for particulars.

Yes, you can. However, if you receive a high rating -- 100 percent, for example -- you could encounter issues by working because you are considered "unemployable." This means if your level of disability is rated at 100 percent and yet you are working, your ability to work is information the VA may use to lower your benefit rating.

Veterans who continue to work generally are not eligible for Social Security Disability Insurance benefits. A VA-accredited claims agent such as Allsup can help you coordinate multiple disability benefits.

You might be eligible for one or the other, but not both at the same time.

If you were diagnosed with MS on Nov 9 2007 and you have been on disability since and your employer has terminated you can you still collect disability?

If you had active coverage under your group short-term disability or long-term disability plan on November 9, 2007, then you may be eligible for benefits. You will have to find out what insurance company handled your disability benefits during that period of time, and then follow-up with them. Whether you are actually eligible for benefits will depend on the contract your employer had/has with this insurance company. Some contracts have late filing penalties, some have clauses regarding termination of employment, etc. Long story short - call that insurance company. You may be eligible for disability benefits.

This depends on what you mean by not "serious". A disability is a disability.

If your disability prevents you from working or performing normally, then it is still serious.

You can generally still collect unemployment while collecting social security, unless it is social security disability...even then you still might be able to.
