Can I receive disability compensation from the VA?

Yes, you may be eligible for disability compensation from the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Disability compensation provides financial assistance to veterans who have service-connected disabilities or injuries. To qualify, you must have a current diagnosis for a specific disability and evidence linking it to your military service. The disability compensation amount is determined based on the severity of your disability and how it affects your ability to work. The VA conducts a review of your medical records, service history, and other supporting documentation to make a decision. It is important to submit a complete and accurate claim application to improve your chances of receiving benefits. If approved, you will receive monthly tax-free compensation to help with the challenges posed by your service-connected disability.
