Go for it. The criteria for SSD is different than the VA. Having one does not automatically lead to the other.
The one thing about SSD is you either get it or you don't. There isn't any percentage of disability like the VA has. The amount you receive is based on what your social security account from your contribution record. Plus, if you have minor children, you can draw an benefit for them also based on your account.
If you are denied, there is an appeal process.

In the past few years, if you are rated 100% by VA, SSA will USUALLY (but not always) go with the VA's determination and award the SS disability as well. You need to bring your 100% VA Award letter with you when you go to SSA.
