Do you currently receive financial compensation payments from VA for a service-connected disability?


Nope. I don't receive any payments right now.


Have you been discharged for a disability resulting from something that happened to you in the line of duty?


Yes, I have been discharged after I was recently crippled during a combat mission.


Then you may qualify for enhanced eligibility status meaning you'll be placed in a higher priority group, which makes you more likely to get benefits if you meet at least one of the requirements.


I've served this country since 1979. I did more than my duty, sure you can do something for me now, am I right?


Of course. If you served prior to September 7, 1980, you will qualify for benefits.


That's what I want to hear. And what about those VA health care benefits?


You may be able to get VA health care benefits if you served in the active military, naval, or air service and didn't receive a dishonorable discharge.


What if I'm a combat Veteran who just returned from service? Like I said, I've served this country since 1979, God bless America, but wasn't crippled until recently, after a bomb went off on a combat mission in Iraq. I really need those benefits, I don't want to burden my family.


In this case you can receive free medical care for any condition related to your service in Iraq or Afghanistan for 5 years after discharge.

Please note that Districts are listed as missing or insufficient data if some conditions are met


ok I understand but it is not the case that I am looking for


well but in some cases why does there seem to be duplicates from the same school?


This comes to pass since these school names are inherently reported by students, the reported name can vary considerably. By adding the data, our standard practice is to report the name of the school that applicants most commonly report.


ok and what are the conditions by which some districts appear blank on the maps?


The most common is that the statutory adjusted cohort graduation rate is missing, for example, if districts merged or a new district was created after 2009/10 and will not appear on the maps.


ok and that is the only condition?


not as I mentioned are several conditions


ok and relative to the totals reported last year they are different from the numbers reported now over last year. What is causing this?


This can be due to several factorsSince in previous years, we used representatives to determine if an applicant was a first time applicant; ine if an applicant was a first, time filing cabinet; We now use true declarant status for the first time as a criterion for being a senior. and this affects the totals

The money you pay in taxes isn't held in a personal account for you to use when you get benefits. We use your taxes to pay people who are getting benefits right now.
