VA disability compensation is a monthly benefit paid to Veterans with disabilities that are the result of a service-connected injury or illness. The amount of compensation paid is based on the severity of the disability. VA disability payments are tax-free and do not affect other government benefits, such as Social Security or Medicare.
Disabled veterans may also be eligible for additional benefits, such as healthcare, vocational rehabilitation, and educational assistance. To learn more about VA disability benefits, visit the VA website or contact your local VA regional office.
