Veterans are often surprised when they learn about the types of VA benefits they may qualify for. Many of these benefits are designed to offer financial assistance.
Veterans pensions are a major source of financial help to veterans who are over 65 years of age. Additionally, if a veteran becomes disabled at any age, they can qualify for this benefit. The amount a veteran receives varies based on their income and the pension rate that was on the books when they applied. The number could also fluctuate based on the number of dependents a veteran has.
Other types of VA benefits include the VA death pension. This is money that is afforded to the surviving spouse of a veteran. The only caveat is that the surviving spouse could not have remarried.
An additional form of financial help the VA offers is disability payments. Disability payments are given to veterans who were injured, suffered a disease, or saw an existing condition get worse while they were on active duty. There are varying scales of compensation based on the disability that a person has sustained. For example, if a person loses a limb or if they are seriously disabled, they may receive a higher level of compensation.
There is also a bill that helps to pay for tuition, examinations, books, and fees for undergraduate degrees and graduate degrees. All of these financial benefits can help make life easier for veterans.
