I am a Desert Storm 100% service-connected disabled veteran, and a friend suggested that I could also get SSD, but I didn't think I could because they are both federal checks. Well, a person can't get full checks from two federal entities, but if you are interested, I can talk about how I applied for and won SSD in 30 days (yep) and get a full VA check and a partial SSD check. Without a lawyer.

Drown them in medical records of proof.
