You may receive SSDI, VA disability compensation at the same time and once you get on SSDI, you must take Medicare Part B. On this issue, failure to do so can result in you being assesses a premium penalty of 10% premium increase per year for every year you are/were eligible and did not sign up for it.

Medicare comes with it automatically.
