Working for the military presents many risks. The US Department of Veterans Affairs, therefore, operates a system through which veterans can receive benefits to help meet their needs when they suffer injuries in service that result in disabilities. If you were injured in the call of duty, you may be eligible for VA benefits. Get in touch with CIancetta and Associates to learn about the different types of VA benefits available and which ones you are eligible for.

We will provide you with guidance in pursuing your claim.
There are various types of VA benefits available for veterans that have suffered injuries that have caused disabilities while in the line of duty. The attorneys at Cianchetta and Associates have successfully recovered compensation on behalf of injured veterans by filing claims for:
These disability benefits provide injured veterans with compensation for disabilities caused by injuries related to their service. These benefits take the form of monthly cash payments. In order to be eligible for these benefits, you must show:
The amount you receive as benefits will depend on the severity of your disabilities and whether you have dependents such as children, a spouse, or parents. You may also be eligible for additional compensation if your spouse is also deemed to require aid and assistance.
If you have suffered a disability related to your military service, you may be eligible to receive monthly benefits of up to $3100. These payments are based on the severity of your disability. The VA provides ratings for different injuries, diseases, and illnesses in 10 percent increments.
If your spouse died in the line of service, you may also be entitled to these types of VA benefits. Spouses may also make a claim if their partners were totally disabled by a condition related to their service.
If you have suffered a disability that is service-related and that prevents you from working, you may be eligible to receive TDIU. These benefits are available even for those whose conditions may not meet the requirements for a 100 percent disability rating. There are two issues that are considered when determining eligibility for these benefits:
The VA does not consider factors such as age or disabilities that are not related to your service.
These benefits are provided for veterans who have no or limited income. Surviving spouses may also be eligible for these benefits. However, you cannot receive this benefit if you are currently receiving other service-related compensation. If you are eligible for both programs, the VA will consider which benefits are greater and pay them.
The pension benefit is a needs-based program. It is designed to support those veterans that are able to earn an income but not enough to support their families. The benefits are a supplement to their income. In this case, the injury need not be related to their service in the military.
