How to Get VA Disability Benefits in Parma, OH

If a veteran receives service connection, VA will then assign a disability rating to the condition for which they have established service connection.  This rating issued will range from 0 percent to 100 percent, based on the severity of the disability.  The ratings will then be added together using VA math to get a combined disability rating.  This combined disability rating will determine their monthly compensation rate.

As of December 1st, 2022 the VA disability rate benefit amounts are as follows:

• 0 percent disability rating: $0.00 per month
• 10 percent disability rating: $165.92 per month
