Disability Compensation
A tax-free monetary benefit paid to Veterans who are determined by VA to be disabled by an injury or illness that was incurred or aggravated during active military service (service-connected). To be eligible for compensation, the Veteran must have been separated or discharged under conditions other than dishonorable and have applied to VA for service-connected disability.
