The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) calculates monthly disability benefits according to the criteria laid out in its disability compensation tables. The tables are comprehensive and are based on VA-assigned disability ratings.
It is important to have the correct disability rating assigned; a disability that is too low can reduce your benefit significantly. For example, a veteran whose disability rating is 30 percent will receive less than half of the benefit amount received by a veteran with a 50 percent disability rating. Before working with the tables, it's important to know your disability rating.
At The Rep for Vets™, our disability compensation advocates help veterans understand the veterans disability compensation tables. As a nationwide disabled veterans advocacy firm, we have the experience and knowledge to help veterans throughout the United States obtain the full benefits they deserve after their service to our country.
Factors Used in the Disability Compensation Tables
In addition to the disability rating, the VA considers such factors as:
- A spouse
- Dependent parents
- Number and age of children
- Health of spouse; does he or she need Aid and Attendance (A&A) benefits?
Depending on these factors and your disability rating, you could expect to receive from $100 to several thousand dollars. Each vet's case is different, and we are proud to help them get all the benefit they are entitled to.
When working with veterans wondering how to interpret the tables, we stress the importance of describing your dependents correctly. For example, do your parents live with you or are you supporting them? Are your children in college? Receiving additional compensation for parents and/or children requires you to document everything carefully.
