Have Questions?
We Are Committed to Providing You Answers & Solutions-
Are VA disability benefits taxable?No, VA disability benefits are tax-free. You do not have to pay taxes on your VA disability benefits or any portion of such benefits.
-
Can a family member receive VA benefits?
Sometimes, certain dependents are eligible for VA benefits. Most often, this is the case when a dependent lives with a veteran, and the veteran is unable to support the dependent financially. Surviving dependents and other family members of veterans who pass away may also be eligible for certain VA benefits, such as death compensation, death pension benefits, and more.
-
Can I work and still receive VA disability benefits?
As long as you are not receiving “Total Disability Based on Individual Unemployability,” or TDIU, you can work and earn an income without any impact on your VA disability benefits. You are also permitted to work while you are applying for benefits and/or appealing a denied claim. If you are receiving TDIU, you are not permitted to obtain “substantial gainful employment,” or SGA. In other words, if you work while receiving TDIU, you could lose those benefits.
-
What is the VA five-year rule?
The VA five-year rule refers to a rule that prohibits Veterans’ Affairs (VA) from reducing a veteran’s impairment rating when the current impairment rating has remained the same for at least five years. The only exception is in cases where there is substantial, continual improvement of the veteran’s condition over time.
-
Can you receive VA disability benefits for the rest of your life?
When determining the amount and duration of VA disability benefits, Veterans’ Affairs assigns a claimant an impairment, or disability, rating. Veterans who are assigned an impairment rating of 100% are considered completely disabled. As such, they may also receive a “permanent and total disability” designation. When this occurs, the veteran will be eligible for VA disability benefits for the remainder of their life.
