What Is Veterans Disability Compensation?
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) provides compensation based on the severity of your service-connected disability or impairment. VA Regional Offices review the combination of service treatment records and private medical records, as well as other pertinent information.
Certain serious injuries, such as losing a leg, becoming blind in both eyes, or sick, should be compensated more. These are called Special Monthly Compensation (SMC).
Eligibility
VA disability compensation is a tax-free financial benefit available to those who are eligible Veterans and their spouses and children. The amount is determined based on a veteran's medical condition and the degree of their disability based on a schedule established by Congress.
To be eligible for benefits, one must suffer an injury while in service or illness which caused or worsened a medical condition that meets the definition of being service-connected. Disability compensation is available in the event of a pre-existing health condition, but it needs to be proven that the injury, illness or event occurred during service.
The severity of a person's condition is assigned a percentage that is used to calculate the amount they will receive in monthly benefits. This rating is based on an internal review of treatment records and VA records as well as private medical records regarding the condition.
The rating system also evaluates whether or not a person is not able to perform "substantially earning" employment. It is important to keep in contact with the VA regarding any tests they request, and to attend them on time as the absence of doing so could negatively impact your case.
Benefits
Veterans who have conditions that affect them on a daily basis and who are connected to the military can receive compensation payments. These are tax-free financial rewards.
The amount you receive will depend on your condition. You can receive compensation for a single disability or multiple disabilities. If you have multiple disabilities the rates are merged using a formula that considers each condition.
You may be entitled to additional benefits such as Dependency and indemnity Compensation (DIC), or Special Monthly Compensation. DIC is paid to spouses, children, or parents of deceased veterans who have died during active duty or training or due to an injury that was caused by service. SMC is paid based on the need for assistance and attendance to disabled veterans, their spouses, and children.
The SHA grant program offers financial assistance to help disabled veterans disability lawyers adjust their homes for continued treatment and accessibility. Modifying their existing home or purchasing a new home specifically designed to accommodate a disability, are all options. This is a federally regulated program that does not require the approval of a VA decision or an SSI/SSDI determination.
Rates
The VA can pay you anywhere from 100 percent to 0% of your disability benefits based on the severity and length of your illness or accident. This compensation is intended to compensate you for the time that your disability stops you from working. It does not include benefits such as dependent's allowance, which are available separately.
The VA will review the current condition of your body, and any evidence that suggests an association between your illness or injury while in the military and your current condition. The VA employs a scale to assess disabilities. Each one is assigned a percentage of how healthy you would be if you didn't have the disabling condition. For instance, if the medical condition is judged to be 10% disabling, then your total rating would be 10 percent of 100% (the "healthy" percentage).
The rates for compensation are reviewed every year. The VA increases its payouts each year to reflect the increase in Social Security cost of living adjustments. These adjustments are tax-free and are tied to the amount veterans receive as a result of the service-connected disability. The 2023 Disability Rate Chart outlines the monthly amount of compensation based on the severity of your disability and the size of your household. It also shows a breakdown of dependents.
