Understanding the Differences: VA Disability Benefits vs. SSDI

One of the main differences between VA disability benefits and SSDI is their funding sources. VA disability benefits are funded by the Department of Veterans Affairs, while SSDI is funded by the Social Security Administration.

Eligibility for VA disability benefits is based on a service-connected disability, meaning it must be connected to an injury or illness that occurred during military service. On the other hand, SSDI eligibility is based on a person’s inability to work due to a disability, regardless of how or when it occurred.

Another key difference is the amount of financial assistance provided by each program. VA disability benefits are tax-free and take into account the severity of the service-connected disability, while SSDI benefits are taxable and based on an individual’s previous earnings.

Additionally, VA disability benefits often come with additional services such as healthcare and vocational rehabilitation, while SSDI does not offer these additional services.
