What You Need to Know About Veterans Disability Settlement

The VA program compensates disabled persons due to loss of earning capacity. This program is distinct from workers' compensation programs.

Jim received a $100,000 lump sum settlement. The VA will annually increase the lump sum over one year. This will be offset by his Pension benefit. He will only be eligible to apply for his pension benefit after the annualized amount is returned to him.

Compensation

Veterans and their families could be eligible for compensation from the government for injuries suffered during military. These benefits can be an income from a pension or disability. When you're considering a personal-injury lawsuit or settlement on behalf of a disabled veteran there are a few key aspects to remember.

For example If disabled veterans receive an award in their case against the at-fault person who caused their injuries and they also have an VA disability compensation claim and the amount of the settlement or jury award can be taken from their VA payments. But, there are some limitations on this kind of garnishment. First the court petition must be filed for the apportionment. Then, only a fraction of the monthly compensation may be garnished, generally between 20 and 50 percent.

Another thing to note is that the compensation is calculated based on a percentage the veteran's disability and not based on actual earnings from an employment. The higher the disability rating, the more money they'll get. The children and spouses of disabled veterans who die due to service-related illness or injuries can be eligible for a unique benefit known as Dependency Indemnity Compensation (DIC).

There are a lot of misconceptions about the impact that benefits from veterans' retirement, disability pay and other compensation from the Department of veterans disability lawsuit Affairs have on divorce financial issues. These myths can make divorce even more difficult for veterans and their families.

Pension

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

A common misconception is that courts can garnish VA disability payments in order to fulfill court-ordered child or spouse support obligations. However, it's important to understand that this isn't the case.

The courts can only take away a veteran's pension if they have renounced their military retired pay in order to get the compensation they deserve for a disability. 38 U.S.C. (a) SS5301 (a) is the statute that governs this.

It is important to remember that this doesn't apply to CRSC or TDSC pay, since these programs are specifically designed to provide a higher amount of income to disabled veterans. It is also important to know that a veteran's personal injury settlement could affect their eligibility for Aid and Attendance.

SSI

Veterans who have an ongoing disability and have no income might be eligible for Supplemental Security Intake (SSI). This program is based upon need. A person must have a low income and assets to be eligible for SSI. Some are also eligible for a monthly pension benefit from the VA. The amount depends on their service and war time period as well as disability rating.

Most veterans aren't eligible for both Pension and Compensation benefits at the same time. If a person gets an amount for disability and pension benefits from the VA, it will not provide a Supplemental Security income benefit.

The VA is required to send your monthly report of military retirement, CRDP or CRSC to the Social Security Administration (SSA). This will almost always increase your SSI benefit. The SSA can also determine your SSI earnings using VA waiver benefits.

If a judge requires a veteran to pay support as ordered by the court the court can send the order directly to the VA and have the military retirement slashed to pay for this purpose. This can be the case in divorce cases where the retiree waives their retirement benefits as a military retiree in exchange for their VA disability payments. The U.S. Supreme Court recently made a ruling in the case Howell that this practice violated federal law.

Medicaid

A veteran who has a disability resulting from service can qualify for Medicare and Medicaid benefits. He must prove he has completed the five-year look-back time. Additionally, he needs to provide proof to prove his citizenship status. He is not able to transfer his assets without a fair value but can keep one vehicle and his primary residence. He is allowed to keep up to $1500 in cash or the face value of a life insurance policy.

In divorce, the judge may decide that the veteran's VA disability benefits can be considered income for the purposes of calculating post-divorce child support and maintenance. This is due to the numerous court decisions that have upheld the right of family courts to consider these payments as income in support calculations. These include rulings from Florida, Mississippi (Steiner v. Steiner), Wisconsin (In re the marriage of Wojcik), and other states.

The VA disability compensation is based on the severity of the condition. It is based on a chart which ranks the severity of the condition. It can vary from 10 percent up to 100 percent and higher ratings bringing the most money. It is also possible for veterans to receive additional compensation for attendance and aid expenses, or monthly compensation that is not based on a calendar but on the severity of the disability.
