Veteran Affair Benefits
The U.S Department Veteran’s Affairs (VA) provides a wide range of benefits for our service members, veterans and their families. Some of these benefits include but are not limited to include compensation, disability, education, and home loans. Throughout this paper I will discuss these benefits and the eligibility required to receive them. Eligibility for most VA benefits is based on type of discharge received through the military which is normally all discharges under other than dishonorable conditions.
The VA website http://www.va.org has an array of everything and anything needed to understand benefits that are available. The Department of Veterans Affairs is required by law to provide eligible veterans hospital care and outpatient care services that are defined as "needed." VA defines "needed" as care or service that will promote, preserve, and restore health. This includes treatment, procedures, supplies, or services. As stated in the Veteran’s Service benefits booklet section chapter 1of the VA website the VA operates the nation’s largest integrated health care system with more than 1,400 sites of care, including hospitals, community clinics, nursing homes, counseling centers and various other facilities. Eligibility for these benefits is the same as stated previously and must enroll by completing VA Form 10-10EZ.
Disability benefits are a monetary benefit paid to veterans for any disability that is considered to have happened during active military service as stated in the Veteran’s Service benefits booklet section chapter 2 of the VA website. These benefits are paid to veterans who have injuries or diseases that happened while on active duty, or were made worse by active military service. It is also paid to certain veterans disabled from VA health care. These benefits are tax-free. The amount of basic benefit by percentages between 10 and 100%
