Disability Benefits For Vets That You Need To Know

By Elsa Noel


There are a lot of benefits available for our veterans. And if you or someone you know is a veteran then it is a must that you have the knowledge about their welfare and as to what it entails. Knowing this would not only increase your knowledge but it would also help veterans.

Let us first tackle the basic eligibility conditions. These conditions must be me so that these veterans could power over the disability benefits for vets. In order for a person to be eligible for these advantages, he or she must have been on active service and must have received an honorable discharge.

We should get started with the basic driveler which is the pension. In order to be awarded with this, a veteran must have served during the war for at about a day or has been on service for a span of ninety days or more. A person should also have low income and assets and he can also be given the pension given that he is having total and permanent disabilities due to his duty or if he is currently sixty five years of age or above.

Furthermore, if you happen to have known a veteran who is experiencing illnesses caused by some combat related injuries then he can claim for a Combat Related Special Compensation. As the name suggests, in order to have this special compensation, a veteran must have a combat related and work connected impairment. Moreover, this advantage is only awarded to military retirees who have been serving the country for at least twenty years. However, a vet who has been given medical retirement and has not served for twenty years can also be awarded with this benefit.

Veterans can also get this benefit called the Concurrent Retirement and Disability payments. The person will be given two privileges, the retirement benefit and the disability payments, both at the same time. In order to have claim on this benefit, a veteran must have an impairment due to his service and he must have also served our country for about twenty years.

If you do not have the qualifications needed for the previously stated advantages, you do not need to worry. You can still apply for the Health Care. To gain access to the Health Care for veterans, you do not need to possess any service related disability nor do you need to have taken part during wartime or during the combat operations.

Furthermore, if you or a veteran that you know has a very severe service connected disability then he or she can petition for an application to the Nursing Home Care. It is specially designed for veterans. He will be able to get the proper care that he needs.

There are a lot of other benefits for our vets and they do deserve it. The ones that was listed above were only just a few of them, they actually also have education advantages and home loan guarantees as well. They also have other benefits including grants for Adapted Housing, insurance for Service Disable Veterans and Mortgage Life Insurance.

Vitally last and important final point, if you know someone who is a veteran then inform them and help them in getting what they really deserve. It is not just about their privileges but it is also about the proper care for these men. These men have bravely fought for our nation and it is their right to have disability privileges.
