The Veterans Corner-Indian Warrior More Information for Gulf Compensation HOW Disability COmpsatbn Works I . Service connected disability compensation, or "comp," is available to veterans with physical and mental disabilities (which VA often calls "conditions") incurred during their military service or made worse by their service. The compensation process can become complicated. We have therefore devoted a large section of ourguide to help you file a claim. A service-connected disability does not have to be combat-related; it just has to be connected in some way to your time in service. Your disability must be recognized by VA as service-connected before you can receive compensation benefits. Income and assets do not affect the amount of money received for service-connected disability. You have a condition (disease or disability) that can be linked to an injury that happened during service or a disease you suffered from in service. You suffer form a disease with symptoms that began shortly sifter discharge, usuallv within one year, and VA considers that disease to have begun during service. You have a condition that existed before service that became worse while you were in service.

For the Vietnam War, the wartime service dates are Feb. 28, 1961, through May 7, 1975. For the Gulf War, the official start of wartime service was Aug. 2, 1990; a closing date has yet to be set. Unlike disability compensation, pension benefits are based on need. Your income, combined with the income of your spouse and dependent children, averaged over 12 months, is deducted dollar for dollar from the maximum pension amount. Your assets also will be considered in establishing need. Do not understate your income. VA can match what you tell them against your Social Security and Internal Revenue Service records. For some veterans, pension benefits will pay a higher monthly benefit than compensation benefits. To keep things simple, VA is required toconsideraclaim for compensation to double as a claim fro pension and will pay the greater of the two amounts as a benefit.
