Eligibility
VA disability compensation is a tax-free monetary benefit given to eligible Veterans and their spouses and children. The amount of the benefit is determined by the medical condition of a veteran and the severity of their disability based on a schedule established by Congress.
An individual can be eligible for benefits if they have an illness, injury or an event which has caused or aggravated an illness which is service-related. You may be eligible for disability compensation when you have a pre-existing health condition, but it needs to be proven that the illness, injury or event occurred during service.
The severity of the illness is determined by a percentage. This is used to calculate the amount a person will receive each month. This rating is based on an internal review of service treatment records and VA records and private medical records that pertain to the condition.
The rating system also takes into account whether or not the individual is unable perform "substantially profitable" employment. It is vital to stay in contact with the VA regarding any examinations they require and to show up for the examinations on time, as the absence of doing so could have a negative impact on your case.
