VETERANS DISABILITY BENEFITS
SCROLL DOWN
What are Veteran Disability Benefits?
On behalf of the team at Jeffrey Freedman Attorneys, we want to thank you for your service. If you were injured while serving and were diagnosed with a disability, you may be entitled to receive veteran disability benefits. These tax-free benefits can also be paid to veterans who were disabled due to VA healthcare and those whose injuries were made worse by active military service.
Am I eligible?
Some types of disabilities that are eligible for benefits include:
- Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
- Depression
- Fibromyalgia
- Toxic exposure/cancer
- Traumatic brain injuries/migraine headaches
- Neck and back injuries
- Military sexual trauma
- Hearing problems
- Gulf War syndrome
- Total disability/individual unemployability
Veteran disability benefits and the application process are different than traditional Social Security benefits. Unfortunately, the process can be long and complex. In general, you may be eligible for VA benefits if you served in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard, or Marines and have an illness or injury that was related to your service. You must also have received an honorable discharge. If you’ve been discharged under any other circumstances, it could impact your eligibility for veteran benefits.
How do I apply?
Applying for veteran benefits can be a long process. You’ll be required to provide extensive documentation of your medical history, service records, and more. You can apply online, in person, or by mail.
If you’re unable to work because of a service-related disability, you may also be entitled to Social Security disability benefits.
