VA Disability Benefits in Brief
? Disability Compensation is a tax free monetary benefit paid
to Veterans with disabilities that are the result of a disease or
injury incurred or aggravated during active military service.
? Compensation may also be paid for post-service disabilities
that are considered related or secondary to disabilities
occurring in service and for disabilities presumed to be
related to circumstances of military service, even though
disabilities may arise after service.
? Generally, the degrees of disability specified are also designed
to compensate for considerable loss of working time from
exacerbations or illnesses.

VA Disability Benefits in Brief
? Special Monthly Compensation (SMC) is an additional taxfree benefit that can be paid to Veterans, their spouses,
surviving spouses and parents. For Veterans, Special Monthly
Compensation is a higher rate of compensation paid due to
special circumstances such as the need of aid and attendance
by another person or a specific disability, such as loss of use of
one hand or leg. For spouses and surviving spouses, this
benefit is commonly referred to as aid and attendance and is
paid based on the need of aid and attendance by another
person.
