- Honorably Discharged Service Members

Verification of eligibility (Military ID or DD214) is required prior to going under contract.

Frequently Asked Questions
Disability & Compensation
Who is eligible for VA disability benefits?
Generally, you must have served on active duty, active duty for training, or inactive duty for training and have a current illness or injury that was caused (or made worse) by your service. You must also have a discharge that is other than dishonorable.
Can I work while receiving VA disability?
Yes. Most veterans can work full-time while receiving disability. The only major exception is if you are receiving Total Disability based on Individual Unemployability (TDIU), which has specific income limits.
What is the 2026 COLA increase?
For 2026, VA disability rates increased by 2.8% to match the Social Security Cost-of-Living Adjustment (COLA).
Healthcare & Medical
Do I need to be disabled to get VA healthcare?
No. While a service-connected disability often grants higher priority, many veterans qualify based on income levels, combat service, or other special categories (like being a former POW).
Will seeking treatment lower my disability rating?
Generally, no. Seeking treatment is actually recommended as it provides a medical record of your condition. Ratings are usually only re-evaluated if you file for an increase or if the VA initiates a scheduled review.
Does the VA cover nursing homes or assisted living?
Yes, the VA offers several programs, including Aid and Attendance, which provides an enhanced pension to help pay for the cost of long-term care or help with “activities of daily living” (like bathing or dressing).
Housing & Education
How do I get a VA home loan?
You first need a Certificate of Eligibility (COE). You can apply for this through the VA.gov portal or have your lender request it for you. VA loans often require no down payment and no private mortgage insurance (PMI).
What is the enrollment verification rule for 2026?
Starting in January 2026, all education beneficiaries (including Chapter 35) are now required to verify their enrollment monthly to continue receiving benefit payments.
