What You Need to Know About Veterans Disability Settlement

The VA program compensates for disability by calculating the loss of earning ability. This system is different from workers' compensation plans.

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

Compensation

Veterans and their families may be eligible for compensation from the government for injuries sustained during their military service. These benefits can be the form of a disability or pension. When considering a personal-injury lawsuit or settlement on behalf of a disabled veteran, there are a few important points to consider.

For example in the event that disabled veterans receive an award in their lawsuit against the at-fault party, which causes them harm, and also has a VA disability compensation claim, the amount of the settlement or jury award may be taken from their VA payments. This kind of garnishment is subject to certain limitations. First the court must have filed a petition for apportionment of the disability pay. Then only a certain percentage typically between 20% and 50% of the monthly salary may be garnished.

It is important to note that compensation is not based on the actual earnings of a veteran but on a percentage. This means that the higher the rating for a veteran's disability is, the more they be compensated. Children and spouses of a disabled veteran who died of service connected illness or injuries are eligible for a specific benefit known as Dependency Insurance Compensation (DIC).

There are many misconceptions about the effect that the benefits of retirement for veterans as well as disability payments and other compensations provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs have on divorce issues involving money. These misconceptions can cause divorces to be even more difficult for both veterans disability law firms and their families.

Pension

Veterans Disability Pension is a tax free monetary benefit that is paid to veterans disability lawsuits with disabilities that have been incurred or worsened during military service. The benefit is also available to spouses who survived as well as children who have dependents. The pension rate is determined by Congress and based on the amount of disability, the level of disability, and if there are any dependents. The VA has specific regulations regarding how assets are calculated to determine eligibility for the pension benefit. The VA will not take into consideration the veteran's vehicle, home and personal belongings. However the remaining non-exempt assets owned by the veteran must be less than $80.000 to demonstrate financial need.

There is a common misconception that the courts could garnish VA disability payments to fulfill court-ordered child and support obligations for spouses. It is important to realize that this is not true.

The courts are only able to garnish the veteran's pension when they have waived military retired pay to be compensated for disability. The statute that governs this is 38 U.S.C SS5301(a).

It is important to know 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 important to keep in mind that a person's personal injury settlement can affect their eligibility for aid and attendance.

SSI

Veterans who have a permanent disability and no income may be eligible for Supplemental Security Intake (SSI). This is a needs-based program. SSI is only available to those with low incomes and assets. Some individuals are also eligible for pension benefits that are paid monthly by the VA. The amount is determined by duration of service, the wartime period and disability rating.

Most veterans are not qualified for both a pension and Compensation benefit simultaneously. If a person gets a disability payment and a pension from the VA but it does not pay a Supplemental Security income benefit.

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 make use of the VA waiver of benefits in order to calculate your SSI income.

If a veteran is ordered to pay support by an order issued by a court the court may send the order directly to VA to garnish the retirement benefits of the military. This could be the case in divorce cases where the retiree has to give up their military retired benefits in exchange for VA disability payments. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled recently in the case Howell that such a practice violated federal laws.

Medicaid

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

In divorce the judge could decide to consider the veteran's VA Disability payments as income when formulating child support and maintenance following the divorce. This is because of the numerous court rulings that have confirmed the rights of family courts to use these payments as income for support calculations. These include decisions from Florida (Allen v. Allen), Mississippi (Steiner v. Steiner), and Wisconsin (In re Marriage of Wojcik).

The VA disability compensation is based on the severity of the condition. It is determined by an index that evaluates the severity of the condition. It can range from 10 percent to 100 percent and higher ratings bringing the highest amount. Veterans could also be eligible for additional compensation to cover attendance and aid costs or a special monthly payment, which is not based on a specific schedule and not on the extent of their disability.
