Disability
Tax-free compensation for an illness or injury caused or aggravated by qualifying military service.
Who may qualify / eligibility caveats
A current condition, qualifying service, service connection and VA decision are required. OTH/bad-conduct cases may need VA character-of-discharge review; a rating alone is not proof of every benefit.
