Types of Veteran Benefits
VA Compensationcan pay the Veteran a monthly compensation if the Veteran is at least 10% disabled as a result of military service.
VA Pensioncan pay the Veteran a monthly pension if the Veteran served at least one day within a war-time period, has limited income, as is permanently & totally disabled OR at least 65 years old.
VA Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC)can be paid to eligible survivors of service members who died on active duty, Veterans who died from service-related disabilities, and Veterans who were being paid 100% VA Disability when they passed away.
Death Pensioncan be paid to a surviving spouse and dependent children when the death of the war-time Veteran was not service-connected.This type of benefit is based on need.
Aid and Attendance and Housebound assistanceare additional funding that can be obtained when a Veteran or widow of a Veteran requires the assistance of another person with some of their activities of daily living (ADLs) and cannot live independently OR if the Veteran or widow of the Veteran is blind.ADLs include bathing, dressing, grooming, toileting, mobility, transferring, meals, transportation, housekeeping, etc.These benefits are also needs-based; however, VA does reduce the income by the medical expenses incurred by the Veteran or widow.
In the past year we have noticed a substantial increased interest in the Veterans Benefit programs.We receive calls on a daily basis and meet with folks who are under the impression that the programs are easy to qualify for and anyone who served during wartime will get the benefits.What we want everyone to know is that these are government programs and they are needs-based which means there is going to be a substantial amount of paperwork to get someone qualified and the qualification period may take from three months to one year.
