Who Is Eligible for VA Disability Benefits and Compensation?

To be eligible for disability benefits, a veteran must first meet TWO basic criteria – they must have a service-connected injury, illness or medical condition that affects the mind or body AND they must have served on active duty, active duty for training or inactive duty for training.
