Compensation
Veterans and their families could be eligible for compensation from the government for injuries sustained during their military service. These benefits could come in the form of a pension or disability payment. There are some important points to be aware of when considering a personal injury lawsuit or settlement for disabled veterans.
For example when the disabled veteran receives an award in their lawsuit against the at-fault party who caused the damage and also has an VA disability compensation claim, the amount of the settlement or jury verdict can be withdrawn from their VA payments. This type of garnishment comes with some restrictions. First the court must have filed a petition seeking apportionment of the disability payment. Then, only a fraction of the monthly compensation can be garnished. Typically, it is between 20 and 50 percent.

Pensions
Veterans Disability Pension (VDP) is an income tax-free benefit that is paid to veterans who have disabilities that were caused or aggravated during their service in the military. The benefit is also available to spouses who survived and children with dependents. The pension rate is set by Congress and is determined by the amount of disability, the severity of disability, as well as whether there are dependents. The VA has specific regulations on how assets are evaluated to determine eligibility for the pension benefit.

SSI
Veterans who have a permanent disability and no income might be eligible for Supplemental Security Intake (SSI). This is needs based program.

Steiner), Wisconsin (In Re Marriage of Wojcik), and other states.

It can range from 10 percent to 100 percent and higher scores bringing the highest amount of money.
