VA Compensatio or VA Disability Benefits are an davantage created by The Department of Veteran Affairs that every single veteran has a right to claim. It is based on the severity of your service-connected condition. People who suffer from disabilities due to their service in the military are rated and offered this aid depending on how they are rated. How much veterans receive every month will depend on this clasification. Also, it will help the government determine the veteran's eligibility for other VA disability benefits. There are cases in which veterans have multiple disability ratings and use those to calculate a combined VA disability rating. This involves more than only adding up your individual ratings.
How much is 70 percent VA disability 2023?
In 2023, the compensation for a 70% VA dsability rating was increased by 8.7% and it went up to $1,663.06. We need to note that even a 20% rating increase, which at 90% VA disability rating is $2,172.39 can have you getting over $500 monthly more in compensaton benefits. People who are considering trying to increase your 70% Disability Rating have some options they need to consider. They must file for an appeal within the VA deadlines. File a new claim for an increased rating. They must also file for Total Disability based on Individual Unemployability. And lastly, file for a secondary service connection.
The 70-40 rule needs to be explained as well. If the veteran has two or more service-connected disabilities, at least one of those disabilities needs to be rated at 40% pr higher. After these ratings are factored for the other disabilities, the veteran's combined disability rating needs to be 70% or higher. That is generally how the 70-40 rule works. There are cases of veterans who are told that if they don't meet the requirements, they don't even have to bother about applying for unemployability. This is completely false.
