How do I get the VA to pay me for my disabilities?

VA Compensation Benefits may be paid to an eligible veteran who has a disabling physical or mental condition which was incurred or aggravated during military service. Pension Benefits are paid to veterans who have a non-service connected disabling (post service) which has been or can be diagnosed as permanent and total in nature, preventing gainful employment. Income and asset levels do apply. You should contact your officer for an interview to determine eligibility and for assistance in applying or these benefits.
