But I’m already receiving disability payments from military, long-term or short-term disability coverage. Isn’t that enough to prove I’m disabled?

Unfortunately not. Social Security has its own regulations that are separate and distinct from those of the military or private disability insurance providers. Although getting disability from another source may help to prove that you are disabled for Social Security purposes, it does not mean you will automatically be approved for Social Security benefits.
