What is Veteran Compensation?
Veteran compensation refers to the financial benefits provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to veterans who have disabilities or health conditions that are connected to their military service.

Discharge Status: You must have been discharged under conditions other than dishonorable.
Medical Evidence: Providing adequate medical documentation to support your claim is essential.
Types of Veteran Compensation
Disability Compensation: Monthly payments for veterans with service-connected disabilities.
Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC): Benefits for surviving spouses, children, and parents of veterans who died in the line of duty or from service-related injuries.
Special Monthly Compensation (SMC): Additional benefits for veterans with severe disabilities, such as the loss of limbs or need for aid and attendance.
