What Is Veterans Disability Compensation?

If you developed an injury or disease while on active duty with the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, Space Force, or Coast Guard, then you are owed benefits on behalf of the Veterans Disability Compensation. In addition to previously being an active service member, your disability claim should be valid as long as you were not dishonorably discharged.

Benefits from this funding source are also paid to specific veterans that are eligible through the VA Healthcare system.

How much a veteran can receive for their disability entirely depends on the severity of their disease or injury as well as the number of dependents they have.

To be eligible for these benefits, you’ll need to provide similar information that you would provide to the Social Security Administration:

• A medical diagnosis.
• Your medical history which depicts recurring symptoms despite treatment.
• Testimonials illustrating how it affects your ability to work or complete daily tasks

Veterans will also need to show that their injuries or disease were connected to their active duty military status.

How Much Will I Be Paid?

The amount you receive entirely depends on the severity of your disability. Some of the most common injuries and diseases that can be worsened by or received during active duty include:

• Brain Injuries
• Severed Limbs
• Mental Health Disorders
• Musculoskeletal Injuries
• Blood & Nervous System Disorders
• Cancers

For more severe injuries such as a severed arm or leg, additional benefits might be paid out to the affected veteran.
