If someone should meet the criteria for both Social Security and other disability benefit programs, this is what the law states:
• Disability payments from private insurance plans do not affect your Social Security disability benefits.
• Also, if you receive Social Security disability benefits and Veterans Administration benefits, your Social Security benefit will not be reduced.

Workers’ compensation benefits are paid to a worker because of a job-related injury or illness. They may be paid by federal or state workers’ compensation agencies, employers or by insurance companies on behalf of employers.
