Disability compensation in the United States military is managed by the Department of Veterans Affairs. Applications can be made online at www.va.gov, or at the local VA office. Following an extensive array of medical tests and service history reviews, the doctors will determine how much of the disability is service-connected and the percentage of disabilitywhere 0% is fully able and 100% is permanently and totally disabled.
They will first determine whether or not the disability is service-connected. For instance, when someone loses a limb in combat, it's easy to determine whether or not the disability is service-connected. But if someone returns home and then develops a disease or condition, it may take a little more investigation to determine whether or not that disability is service-connected.
The total percentage of disability is a weighted number which gives higher priority to the more debilitating disabilities that a person presents. For example, a person could be diagnosed with two disabilities at 30% each and have an overall disability rating of 50%, because one of the two disabilities has a higher weight than the other.
Once the total percentage is determined, that number determines access to benefits through the VA healthcare system, as well as compensation and other benefits.
