Can I collect NYS Workers' Compensation & Social Security Disability at the same time?

[Guest blb]

Hello,

Can I collect NYS Workers' Compensation & Social Security Disability at the same time?

I am an RN who was injured in 2002 on a previous job.

I currently have an opened Workers' Compensation case. Though I have submitted and been approved for reimbursement of multiple medical bills, I have not yet lost any time from work related to these injuries.

In April 2005, I became medically sick and have not yet returned to work. My medical condition, alone &/or in combination with my WC injuries, will require that I apply for Social Security Disability.

Many thanks in advance for your replies.............BLB
