What You Need to Know About Veterans Disability Settlement

The VA program pays compensation for disability based on the loss of earning capacity. This system is different from workers' compensation plans.

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

Compensation

Veterans and their families could be entitled to compensation by the government in case of injuries sustained while serving in the military. These benefits could come in the form of a disability or pension payment. There are a few key things to think about when you are considering a personal injury lawsuit or settlement for disabled veterans.

For example when a disabled veteran receives an award in their case against an at-fault party, which causes them harm, and also has an VA disability compensation claim, the amount of the settlement or jury verdict can be taken from their VA payments. However, there are a few limitations on this kind of garnishment. First the court must have filed a petition seeking apportionment of the disability pay. Then only a certain percentage that is usually between 20% and 50 percent of the monthly pay may be garnished.

Another thing to consider is that the compensation is determined by a percentage of the disabled veteran's condition and not based on actual earnings earned from working. The higher the disability rating, the more money they'll get. The dependent children and spouses of a deceased veteran from injury or illness related to service are eligible for a special compensation known as Dependency Indemnity Compensation.

There are a lot of misconceptions about 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 divorce even more difficult for veterans and their family members.

Pension

Veterans Disability Pension (VDP) is an income tax-free monetary benefit for veterans with disabilities that were acquired or worsened during their service in the military. It is also available to the surviving spouses and dependent children. The pension rate is set by Congress and is based on amount of disability, the degree of disability, and if there are any dependents. The VA has regulations that define the method of calculating assets in order to determine eligibility for Pension benefits. The VA will not consider the veteran's home, vehicle and personal possessions. However, the remaining non-exempt assets of the veteran must be less than $80.000 to demonstrate financial need.

It is widely believed that the courts can garnish VA disability payments to meet court-ordered child support or the obligation to pay spousal maintenance. But, it is crucial to realize that this isn't the case.

The courts can only take a veteran's pension away if they have waived their military retired pay in order to obtain an amount of compensation for an impairment. 38 U.S.C. SS5301 (a) is the statute that governs this.

In a divorce, a judge can decide to take into account the veteran's VA Disability payments as income when making calculations for child support and maintenance following the divorce. The reason is that numerous court decisions have confirmed the rights of family courts to utilize these payments to calculate support. These include decisions from Florida (Allen v. Allen), Mississippi (Steiner v. Steiner), and Wisconsin (In Re the marriage of Wojcik).

The VA disability compensation is determined by the severity of the condition. It is calculated based on a chart that ranks the severity of the condition. It can vary between 10 percent and 100 percent. Higher ratings will result in more money. It is also possible for veterans to receive additional compensation for aid and attendance expenses, or monthly compensation that is not based on a specific schedule but on the degree of the disability.
