Qualifications
In general, veterans are entitled to disability compensation if:
- They were discharged or released under conditions other than dishonorable
- Their diseases or injury was incurred or aggravated in the line of duty
- The disability is not a result of their own willful misconduct or abuse of alcohol or drugs.
Payment Amount
Veterans found to be entitled to disability compensation receive monthly monetary payments. As of December 2007, for a single veteran with no dependents, these payments ranged from $123 for a 10% disability to $2,673 for a 100% disability. Veterans who are rated 30% or higher receive an additional amount of monthly compensation based on existing family members.
