VETERANS DISABILITY BENEFITS
SCROLL DOWN
On behalf of the team at Jeffrey Freedman Attorneys, we want to thank you for your service. If you’ve been injured while serving you may be entitled to receive Veteran’s disability benefits. Depending on your disability, you may qualify for up to $3,100 a month in benefits. Benefits are also paid to veterans who were disabled from VA health care or those whose injuries were made worse by active military service. The benefits are tax-free.
Veteran’s disability benefits are different than traditional Social Security benefits. The process to apply is also different. Unfortunately, the process for obtaining Veteran’s benefits can be long and complex. In some cases, your claim may even be denied so it is important to understand what you are eligible for and how to apply for it.

When in doubt, apply.
The VA uses what is called The Schedule for Rating Disabilities to match your condition with a disabling rating (percent of disability). This list is long and complex. On The Schedule you will find lists of physical injuries and mental conditions that affect the life of a veteran. Those conditions are listed in groups such as bones and joints, gastrointestinal, skin, neurological and so on.
