FAQs

What types of VA benefits are available to veterans?

The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) provides a range of benefits, including:

  • Service-Connected Disability Compensation

  • VA Pension for low-income wartime veterans

  • Total Disability Based on Individual Unemployability (TDIU)

  • Aid & Attendance Benefits for elderly veterans

  • Survivor Benefits for spouses and dependents

  • Education & Training (GI Bill, Vocational Rehabilitation & Employment)

  • VA Home Loans & Housing Assistance

How do I qualify for VA disability compensation?

To receive VA disability compensation, you must:

  1. Have a current medical condition or disability.

  2. Have served in the military under conditions other than dishonorable.

  3. Prove that your condition is service-connected (caused or aggravated by your military service).

My VA claim was denied. Can I appeal the decision?

Yes! If your VA claim is denied or if you receive a lower rating than expected, you can appeal the decision. There are several ways to appeal, including:

  • Filing a Supplemental Claim (if you have new evidence).

  • Requesting a Higher-Level Review (by a more senior VA official).

  • Appealing to the Board of Veterans’ Appeals (for a judge to review your case).Any traffic violation can seriously jeopardize the career of a commercial licensed driver. Unlike other motorists, a person with a CDL cannot attend traffic school or defensive driving classes in order to have the case dismissed. Contact an experienced Memphis traffic violation attorney before paying a fine or pleading guilty to a traffic ticket, otherwise you may not only lose your CDL, but jeopardize your employment as well.

What benefits are available for surviving spouses and dependents?

Surviving spouses and dependents may qualify for:

  • Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC)

  • Survivor’s Pension (for low-income families of deceased wartime veterans)

  • Education & Healthcare Benefits (such as CHAMPVA insurance)
