What is VA Disability
Compensation ? Disability Compensation is a benefit paid to a
veteran because of injuries or diseases that happened while on active duty, or
were made worse by active military service.
It is also paid to certain veterans disabled from VA health care.
The benefits are tax-free. If
you have a current disability and are receiving compensation you can be
reevaluated for a possible increase in percentage if the disability has
worsened, or has caused a secondary disability. Who Is Eligible ? You may be eligible for Disability Compensation if
you have a service-related disability and you were discharged under other than
dishonorable conditions. How Much Does VA Pay ? The amount of basic benefit paid ranges from $101
to $2,107 per month, depending on how disabled you are. NOTE: You
may be paid additional amounts, in certain instances, if:
you
have very severe disabilities or loss of limb(s)
you
have a spouse, child(ren), or dependent parent(s)
you
have a seriously disabled spouse How Can I Apply ?
