What You Need to Know About Veterans Disability Settlement

The VA program compensates disabled persons based upon loss of earning capacity. This program is distinct from workers' compensation.

Jim received a lump sum settlement. The VA will annually increase the lump amount over the course of one year. This will decrease his Pension benefit. The applicant can only apply for a second time after the annualized amount has been paid to him.

Compensation

Veterans and their families could be entitled to compensation by the government for injuries sustained while serving in the military. These benefits could come in the form of a pension or disability payment. If you're thinking about a personal injury lawsuit or settlement on behalf of a disabled veteran there are a few important points to keep in mind.

For instance when disabled veterans receive an award in their case against an at-fault party that damages them and also has an VA disability compensation claim and the amount of the settlement or jury award can be withdrawn from their VA payments. This type of garnishment comes with certain restrictions. First the court petition must be filed to apportion the funds. Then only a certain percentage that is usually between 20% and 50% of the monthly amount could be garnished.

It is also important to remember that compensation is based not on the actual earnings of a veteran instead, it is based on a percentage. The higher a veteran's disability rating, the greater compensation they'll receive. Family members of survivors of a disabled veteran who passed away of a service-related illness injuries can be eligible for a unique benefit known as Dependency Insurance Compensation (DIC).

There are many misconceptions regarding the impact of veterans' pension benefits and disability benefits, as well as other compensations offered by the Department of Veterans Affairs on the financial aspects of divorce. These misconceptions can make a difficult divorce even more difficult for veterans disability lawsuits and their families.

Pensions

Veterans Disability Pension is a tax-free benefit that provides veterans with disabilities incurred or aggravated during military service. It can also be accessed by surviving spouses and dependent children. The pension rate is set by Congress and is based on amount of disability, the severity of disability, as well as if there are dependents. The VA has regulations that specify how assets are calculated in order to determine eligibility for Pension benefits. Generally, the veteran's home as well as personal possessions and vehicle are excluded, whereas the remaining assets that are non-exempt for the veteran must be less than $80,000 to demonstrate financial need.

There is a common misconception that the courts can garnish VA disability payments to fulfill court-ordered child or spouse support obligations. However, it's important to know that this isn't the situation.

The courts can only garnish the pension of a veteran if they have waived their military retired pay to receive compensation for disability. The law that governs this is 38 U.S.C SS5301(a).

It is important to note that this does not apply to CRSC or TDSC pay, since these programs are specifically designed to provide higher levels of income to disabled veterans. It is also important to know that the settlement of a personal injury claim for a veteran could affect their eligibility for Aid and Attendance.

SSI

If a veteran is not earning earned income and has permanent disabilities they could be eligible for Supplemental Security Income (SSI). This is a need-based program. A person must have a low income and assets to be eligible for SSI. Some can also receive pension benefits that are paid monthly by the VA. The amount is determined based on the length of service, Veterans disability wartime duration and disability rating.

The majority of veterans disability lawyers aren't qualified to receive both a Pension and Compensation benefit at the same time. If a person is a recipient of a pension and is receiving an income from the VA then the VA will not pay a Supplemental Security Income benefit to that person.

The VA must report to the Social Security Administration your monthly military retirement, CRDP, or CRSC. This will nearly always increase your SSI benefit. SSA can also use the VA waiver of benefits in order to determine your SSI income.

If a veteran is required to pay support pursuant to an order of a court the court can go directly to VA to garnish the retirement benefits of the military. This can be the case in divorce cases where the retired person waives their military retired benefits in exchange for VA disability payments. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled recently in the case of Howell that such a practice was against federal law.

Medicaid

Veterans with disabilities related to their service could be eligible for Medicare and Medicaid. He must prove that he been able to meet the five year look-back period. Also, he must present documents to show his citizenship. He is not able to transfer his assets without a fair price, but he is able to keep one vehicle and his primary residence. He also has the option of keeping up to $1,500 in cash or the face value of an insurance policy that covers life.

In the event of divorce the judge could decide to consider the veteran's VA Disability payments as income when calculating child support and maintenance after the divorce. This is due to the numerous court decisions that have upheld the right of family courts to use these payments as income in support calculations. These include rulings from Florida (Allen v. Allen), Mississippi (Steiner v. Steiner), and Wisconsin (In re the marriage of Wojcik).

The VA disability compensation is based on the severity of the condition. It is based on an index that rates the severity of the condition. It could vary from 10 percent to 100 percent, with higher ratings yielding the highest amount. Veterans could also be eligible to receive additional compensation for aid and attendance costs, or a specific monthly payment, which is based not on a schedule or a timetable, but rather on the severity of their disability.
