VETERANS HELP GROUP
File a claim
If you are looking to receive the benefits due to you as a veteran, the first step towards collecting said benefits is filing a claim. These benefits could include health care, pensions, education, training, insurance, employment aid, or housing aid. Sometimes the benefits needed deal with transitioning back to everyday life. In other situations, the benefits deal with a veteran’s inability to entirely provide for his or her family after receiving a debilitating injury. Whatever the situation is, you should not be afraid to file a claim.
Take the First Step
You must file a claim at your local VA office or medical facility to receive veterans’ disability benefits. There is at least one office like this in each state and locations in Puerto Rico and Manila. Claims can also be filed online through the VA.
VA Regional Offices
To file a claim you need to complete a VA Form 21-526EZ. You need to send the form to the VA Regional Office in your area. There are a total of 58 offices across the nation with at least one in every case. To qualify for disability compensation you should currently have a disability that occurred during or was aggravated by military service. To qualify for the pension program, you must be 65 years old or older, served on active duty for at least one day in a war, and your income must be below a certain limit.
