How to Get VA Disability Compensation in Mandan, ND

To qualify for VA disability compensation, disabled veterans living in Mandan, ND must have proof of the following three things:

  • An in-service event, injury, or illness;
  • A current diagnosis of a disabling condition by a medical professional; and
  • A nexus, or link, between the in-service event and disability.

If these criteria are met, VA will assign a disability rating to the veteran’s disabling condition.  Disability ratings range from 0 to 100 and increase by increments of 10.  Generally, the more severe the symptoms, the higher the rating.

If a veteran has multiple service-connected disabilities, VA “adds” the individual ratings together using VA math to get a combined disability rating.  Combined disability ratings determine a veteran’s monthly benefit amount.
