Compensation
Veterans and their families may be entitled to compensation by the government in case of injuries sustained while serving in military. These benefits can be in the form of a pension or disability payment. There are a few key points to be aware of when considering a personal injury lawsuit or settlement for a disabled veteran.
For instance, if disabled veterans receive an award in their lawsuit against the at-fault party, which causes them harm, and also has an VA disability compensation claim and the amount of the settlement or jury award may be withdrawn from their VA payments. However, there are a few limitations to this type of garnishment. First the court petition must be filed to apportion the funds. Then only a portion, usually between 20 and 50% of the monthly pay may be garnished.

The higher the veteran's disability score, the more the compensation they'll receive.

Pensions
Veterans Disability Pension is a tax-free benefit that is granted to veterans who have disabilities that they suffered or aggravated through military service. It is also available to survivors of spouses and dependent children. The pension rate is determined by Congress and based on the amount of disability, the severity of disability, as well as whether there are dependents. The VA has specific regulations regarding how assets are analyzed to determine eligibility for the pension benefit. In general, the veteran's home as well as personal possessions and vehicle are excluded, whereas the veteran's remaining non-exempt assets must not exceed $80,000 to demonstrate financial need.
A common misconception is that the courts can garnish VA disability payments in order to fulfill court-ordered child and support obligations for spouses. However, it is important to understand that this isn't the case.

This is not the case for CRSC and TDSC, as these programs were specifically designed to provide a higher level of income for disabled veterans. It is important to remember, too, that a veteran's personal injury settlement could affect their eligibility for aid and attendance.
SSI
If a veteran is not earning income from work and is suffering from permanent disabilities, they may qualify for Supplemental Security Income (SSI). This is needs based program. SSI is only available to those with low incomes and assets. Certain people could also be eligible to receive a VA monthly pension. The amount they receive is contingent upon their service and war time period as well as a disability rating.

In a divorce the judge could decide that the veteran's VA disability payments can be considered income for purposes of the calculation of post-divorce child support and maintenance. The reason for this is that numerous court cases have confirmed the legality of family courts to make use of these payments to calculate support. These include decisions from Florida, Mississippi (Steiner v. Steiner), Wisconsin (In Re Marriage of Wojcik) and other states.
The VA disability compensation is based on the severity of the condition. It is calculated based on a schedule that rates the severity of the condition.
