Severely disabled veterans are able to collect Social Security disability benefits in addition to veterans disability benefits. Veterans who worked and paid Social Security taxes long enough (in either military or nonmilitary jobs) can collect Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits. Veterans who did not, but who have low income and low assets, can collect Supplemental Security Income (SSI), unless their VA disability compensation puts them over the income limit for SSI.
