Veteran Disability Benefit Eligibility
VA disability compensation offers a monthly tax-free payment to Veterans in recognition of the effects of disabilities, diseases, or injuries incurred or aggravated during active military service. The Department of Veteran’s Affairs Disability Eligibility page is a helpful place to start in determining your eligibility for Veteran Disability benefits.
Types of Veteran Disability Benefits
VA disability compensation provides monthly benefits to Veterans in recognition of the effects of disabilities, diseases, or injuries incurred or aggravated during active military service. The program also provides monthly payments to surviving spouses, dependent children, and dependent parents in recognition of the economic loss caused by a Veteran’s death during military service or, after discharge from military service, as a result of a service-connected disability. A summary of VA’s disability compensation programs can be found by visiting the Veteran Benefits Administration page.
