I had a Workers Comp settlement right about the time I applied for Social Security disability. The one thing that my WC attorney told me was that as long as my WC settlement was less than $25,000, it would not impact social security disability at all. My WC settlement therefore was one penny short of that amount. This is not to suggest that I would not have gotten social security disability if the amount was greater than $25,000. But if it is over that, it can reduce the amount of your monthly social security disability amount at least temporarily.
