Elements Required to be Considered for VA Disability Benefits
You do not have to be fully disabled to receive VA disability compensation. VA calculates disability compensation based upon the impact on your earning capacity.
The higher your combined disability rating, the higher your monthly monetary benefit.
To be considered for disability benefits, VA requires three elements:
- You have a medical condition related to your military service.
- You have a current diagnosis by a healthcare professional.
- You show a link between your health condition and your current diagnosis.
Your Combined Disability Rating May Increase Over Time
Unfortunately, your medical condition may worsen over time, or you could develop complications to your service-connected injury or illness. If you filed a claim for an increased rating but received a denial from VA, you are able to appeal that denial.
In addition, you might be entitled to additional compensation if you have a disability rating of 30% or higher and have children, parents, or a spouse who are financially dependent on you
VA guidelines are complex, and it is in your best interest to have a strong legal advocate on your side.
