Compensation is paid to a veteran with a disability that is related to military service.
While the disability need not be a result of performance of duty, it must have occurred or have been aggravated during military service. Pension eligibility is determined by the income of a war time veteran and the number of his or her dependents. I understand that the VA is required by law to recover costs from health insurers for non-service connected medical care provided to veterans covered by private insurance policies and plans. Whether or not you have insurance does not affect your eligibility for VA care. Neither does it have a bearing on your income level that determines your category of eligibility under the VA Means Test.
