Who is Eligible for Veterans Disability Benefits?

If you are a Veteran who got sick or injured while serving in the military, you might be eligible for monthly tax-free payments. These benefits can help if:

  • You developed a physical condition (like a chronic illness or injury) during your service.
  • Your service made an existing condition worse.
  • You are dealing with mental health conditions (like PTSD) that started before, during, or after your service.

How Much Money Can You Get Monthly from VA Disability Benefits?

The amount of money you may be entitled to receive will depend upon the rating given to you by the VA.

The rating is a percentage measured by the severity of your service-connected condition. In other words, the more severe your condition, the higher your rating. If you have multiple conditions, the

VA uses a special formula to combine them into one overall rating.

Here’s a general breakdown of what you might expect:

  • 10% Disability Rating: $175 per month
  • 30% Disability Rating: $538 per month (with no dependents)
  • 50% Disability Rating: $1,103 per month (with no dependents)
  • 70% Disability Rating: $1,761 per month (with no dependents)
  • 100% Disability Rating: $3,836 per month (with no dependents)

These figures can increase if you have dependents or if your condition worsens over time. For more information, go to our VA Disability Compensation Page.

A higher rating not only means more financial support each month, it can also qualify you for additional benefits, such as increased access to VA healthcare services, vocational training and housing assistance.

What is TDIU?

Total Disability based on Individual Unemployability (TDIU) is a benefit from the VA that helps Veterans who can’t work because of their service-connected disabilities. If you qualify for TDIU, you can receive benefits at the 100% disability rate, even if your VA disability rating is less than 100%.

Who Qualifies for TDIU?

  • Veterans who can’t hold a steady job because of their service-related health issues.
  • You must have one disability rated at least 60% or multiple disabilities that combine to 70%, with one rated at least 40%.

If you believe you might qualify for TDIU or have been denied and want to appeal, we’re here to help. You can find out more about TDIU at these resources:

Medical Conditions That May Qualify You for Veterans’ Disability

Understanding which conditions qualify for veterans’ disability benefits is crucial. We’re here to provide comprehensive information and dedicated support for each condition.

Please note the following list of conditions is not comprehensive. If you developed a medical condition during your service or if your condition was aggravated by your time in the military, you might still be eligible for disability benefits. Even if your symptoms appeared after discharge, you could qualify for support. Our team can help evaluate your situation and guide you through the process.


















Agent Orange and Other Toxic Exposure

PACT Act Claims

Qualifying for VA benefits due to burn pit exposure used to be challenging because of the high burden of proof.

However, with the passage of the PACT Act (Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics), the claim process is now much simpler, thanks to presumptive conditions and service locations.

PFAS Exposure From Firefighting Foam

Military firefighters often use a foam called AFFF that contains harmful chemicals known as PFAS. Studies show that exposure to these chemicals can increase the risk of cancer, making it a serious concern for veterans seeking VA disability benefits.

Veterans with service-related disabilities caused by PFAS exposure from firefighting foam, may qualify for VA disability benefits.
