Hi Tammi,
I think that's possible under certain circumstances, but my only area of expertise is Social Security benefits. I can only tell you that if a person does receive a Federal pension based on someone else's government service, it would have no effect on their Social Security benefits. You may want to try contacting the Office of Personnel Management: https://www.opm.gov/retirement-services/contact-retirement/.
We don't answer questions by telephone, but if you'd like to submit your other question about disability benefits via this forum I'll be happy to try to answer it for you.
Best, Jerry
