You show review the VA disability benefits eligibility criteria to find out if you can get disability compensation for an illness or injury that was caused by or got worse because of your active military service.
Where can I get more information about this program?
You can watch our Compensation 101 videos to learn more about how VA disability compensation works.
Can you please tell me what is meant by disability compensation?
Where can I find further info about disability compensation?
I received an other than honorable discharge from military service, would I still be eligible for VA benefits?
If you received an other than honorable discharge you may not be eligible for VA disability benefits.
user: Also, for disability. But I got hurt at work. Are there more requirements than that?
Yes, there are, but I can walk you through them to see if you qualify. Did you get your treatment for your injury at a VA approved medical facility?
Yes, I did. Can I get benefits?
Just one more question about your broken leg. Is one of your major joints immobilized by your cast?
Or did you have any surgery on the leg?
My cast immobilizes my ankle and knee.I did have a surgery on it before they put the cast on too.
If you are expected to take over a month to recover, and if you are using a wheelchair or crutches, then you should qualify for temporary disability benefits.
The surgery hasn't healed yet and they say it's going to be about three months for me to recover. That counts right?
