We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service. Due to the issues imposed on us by advertisers, we also stopped hosting most ads on the forums many years ago. We hope you appreciate our efforts.

VA offers disability compensation—a monthly tax-free payment—to Veterans who got sick or injured while serving in the military and to Veterans whose service made an existing condition worse.

You may qualify for VA disability compensation for physical and mental health conditions that developed before, during or after service. Some conditions include:
• Chronic (long-lasting) back pain resulting in a current diagnosed back disability
• Breathing problems resulting from a current lung condition or lung disease
• Severe hearing loss
• Loss of range of motion (problems moving your body)
• Ulcers
• Cancers or other conditions caused by contact with toxic chemicals or other dangers
• Anxiety
• Depression
• Mental or physical health conditions related to military sexual trauma
• Posttraumatic stress disorder
• Traumatic brain injury

The money that disability compensation pays each month is available for Veterans with a disability rating of 10% or more. You may qualify for hundreds or thousands of dollars per month in compensation (See the 2024 disability compensation rates). Veterans with a disability rating of 10% or more also gain access to free or low-cost health care through VA.

Already have a disability rating? Applying for other ratable disabilities will not put your current disability rating at risk. If you have a rating for hearing loss, filing a new claim for a back condition will not affect it. So, don’t worry and don’t wait to file a claim.
Receiving disability compensation does not take away
resources from other Veterans. All Veterans are encouraged to apply for the benefits they’ve earned and deserve!
You can apply for disability benefits at any time, no matter how long it has been since you separated from military service. File a claim today!

Two easy ways to file a claim:
1. Online: http://VA.gov/.../file-disability-claim-form.../introduction
2. In person: Bring your application to a local DAV chapter near you, to get help from an accredited representative who can help you file your claim.
