Benefits question

VA Disability Claims :claim:

I am 100%PT but I am still able to work full time. I will

Be having a surgery that will require me to take some time off work. I get short term disability benefits from my employer that will keep a portion of my pay coming in while I am recovering from the surgery. This is all done through my private insurance and doctors as I have never transitioned to VA healthcare. Will me collecting short term disability through my employer in any way affect my VA Disability? If so, how? Thanks in advance. I am pretty sure one has nothing to do with the other but want a sanity check to be sure.
