Attorneys for social security disability from the beginning
The VA uses eight "priority groups" to determine which benefits you will receive, with "1" being the highest priority and "8" the lowest (as of 2003, no new veterans are enrolled into group 8). The level of priority you are given will depend entirely on your disability (and whether it is service- or non-service-connected), your situation financially, and the level or intensity of your disability. Because the fact of a disability originating from service-related or non-service-related sources has a generous impact on your veteran disability benefits, it's important to know the qualification requirements for both types of benefits. Non-service-Connected Benefits Requirements A veteran who suffers from a total and permanent disability qualifies for non-Service-connected benefits. Qualifiying for non-service-connected benefits can also be dependant on a few other issues: • Income- Being eligible for non-service-connected benefits is based on the recipient having limited earnings and a net worth too low to provide the veteran with adequate maintenance.
