VA Benefits for Veterans

The Benefits you've earned through your service.

Military service can open the door to a wide range of federal benefits—from healthcare and education to home financing, housing assistance, and disability compensation.

Understanding which benefits may apply to you is an important part of making the most of the benefits available to Veterans and their families.

VA Benefits go beyond Disability Compensation.

VA benefits can support Veterans in many areas of life. Depending on your service history, disability status, family circumstances, and other eligibility requirements, you may have access to healthcare, education, housing, home loan programs, disability compensation, and other Veteran benefits.

RLGVA’s benefits resource center helps you understand the major categories of VA benefits and find the information relevant to your situation.

Your Service may have earned you more than you realize.

VA disability compensation provides tax-free monthly payments to eligible Veterans with disabilities connected to military service.

Claims can involve PTSD, hearing loss, tinnitus, back injuries, TBI, sleep apnea, MST, toxic exposure, Gulf War illness, musculoskeletal conditions, and many other disabilities.
