Service connected Veterans Disability, unlike other disability assistance, is not based upon financial need. Your assets do not come into consideration and any benefits are tax free. However, just like other disability issues, the process is often confusing and frustrating. The issue of service connection is often ambiguous and in dispute. At the Herren Law Office in Houston, a disability attorney will guide clients through this process – a diligent and experienced attorney can be the difference between success and failure.

What conditions qualify to receive Veterans Disability?
If you have a current physical condition that results from an accident or injury or illness during your time in service you might be eligible to receive service-connected veterans disability benefits or veterans compensation.
If you have a current severe mental condition that in any way results from your time in service you could be eligible to receive service-connected veterans’ disability benefits or veterans compensation. This includes Post-traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) but of course there are numerous mental conditions that could be applicable.
If you have a current condition, physical or mental, which pre-dates your time in service and which was aggravated while in service, you might also be eligible for service-connected benefits.
There are different rules for compensation depending on various factors such as for Prisoner of War (POW) and Gulf War Veterans and for radiation exposure. Please see [Additional information provided in] the Herren Law
Disability Blog, under Veterans Disability for additional information.
Additionally, there is a wealth of information available on the internet through the United States Department of Veterans Affairs.

What is the difference between Veterans Compensation and Veterans Pension?
Veterans Compensation is a benefit paid for conditions which result either directly or indirectly from injuries or illnesses while in service; diagnosis while in service is not required for eligibility (Often referred to as service-connected, or S/C).
Veterans Pension benefits are available to some veterans with disabilities that are not service connected and who have financial need. (Often referred to as non-service connected, or NSC)
