A veteran can receive both service-connected and non-service-connected disability benefits. The amount of compensation depends on the disability rating and whether the disability is due to active military service.
Veterans who have a medical or mental health issue that was caused or worsened by military service are eligible for service-connected disability compensation. This monthly payout is available to veterans and qualified defendants. The compensation rate is determined by a disability rating schedule, which expresses disability as a percentage ranging from 0% to 100%.
Non-service connected pensions may be awarded to veterans if they meet certain requirements. Veterans must be aged 65 or over, and there must be limited or no income, total or permanent disability, or being in a nursing facility. There is no requirement for the disability to be connected to military service.
Veterans who served during combat should apply for disability benefits as soon as possible after leaving active duty. The VA requires that applicants provide proof of service in order to receive benefits.
