Does The VA Offer Disability Insurance? 
The VA does not offer Disability Insurance , per se , but does offer a Total Disability Income Provision -LRB- TDIP -RRB- rider on their group Life insurance plans . There is a 6 month elimination period and the Disability Income benefit lasts for as long as the disability exists . Applicants for the rider must apply before their 55th birthday , and must be able to medically qualify for it .
