As a disabled veteran, I am witness to such cases where the veteran does collect veterans administration and social security disability. Usually the veteran is receiving VA. disability at the 100% rate. Social security will fight awarding it, usually based on the applicants age. The older you are though, the easier it is to collect both.

Only if the retirement disability is not from SSA (e.g., workers' comp or a public disability pension).

One can receive Social Security disability and disability payments from other source(s) at the same time. See the Related Link below.

In the ordinary course of things, Social Secuity benefits are are entitled to anyone at the age of 65. This is called "SSA". What I can not answer is rather or not you and your spouse are both entitled to SSA benefits. As far as his or her being a veteren, that would depend upon his or her status, regarding SSA benefits. My best adivise is that you contact your nearest Social Security office and ask (them) all of the above. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. Best regards to you. Jim.

Yes, if you meet eligibility requirements for both programs you can receive Social Security and VA compensation at the same time without a reduction in either benefit.

Could you collect disability if your employer does not provide disability it and your work requires you to be on your feet and have to have foot surgery and be off work for two months?

There are two ways that a person can receive Disability benefits: from Social Security and/or from an employer or individual Disability policy. If your employer does not provide Disability insurance coverage and you do not have your own individual Disability coverage, you will not be able to receive disability benefits, unless you live in a state that has a state-sponsored plan. In order to receive benefits from a Disability policy, you must actually own one or have coverage through your employer. Additionally you must satisfy the requirements of the contract in order to receive benefits. Social Security benefits only pay benefits on disabilities that are expected to last longer than 1 year or end in death, so you would not qualify for Social Security benefits.

Can long term disability deduct what SD is giving you for your child due to your disability?

if your long term disability is integrated with social security disability, then yes. This is the case for most employer paid long term disability plans, or your employee benefits package. If the Long-Term DI policy is an individual plan, not through your employer - you could receive the full base benefit if it's not integraded with Social Security Disability Benefits.
