EZ Able® often gets asked about the process for applying for Veterans Benefits.  Below is the link to VA Form 21-526.  This is the required form to use to apply for compensation and/or pension benefits.

You should apply for compensation benefits if:

  • You currently have a disability that is the result of an injury, disease, or an event in military service.  NOTE: Many common diseases are now considered military service related.  Please check with the VA to see if your circumstances qualify for compensation.
You should apply for pension benefits if all of the following are true:
  • You are age 65 or older or are permanently and totally disabled.
  • You served on active duty with at least one day during a period of war.

Your income and net worth does not exceed certain limits. Visit the VA website, http://www.vba.va.gov/bln/21/rates for the maximum yearly income they allow.
