Veterans are entitled to receive benefits other than medical care and disability payments. For example, they could be eligible for occupational therapy, access to counseling to ease the readjustment into civilian life, and discounts on medical equipment. However, the prerequisites for those benefits and how a Veteran can qualify and apply for them can be challenging.

What medical and disability-related benefits are available for Veterans?
Veterans can receive medical care through VA hospitals and clinics and disability payments to compensate for physical or psychological limitations resulting from in-service incidents. In addition, as noted above, benefits may include services such as occupational therapy, access to counseling to ease the readjustment into civilian life, and discounts on medical equipment.
The availability and eligibility for some of these benefits can be clouded by VA bureaucracy. A knowledgeable Veterans disability attorney is your best resource to understand these benefits and how you can apply for them.

What financial benefits are available for Veterans?
Veterans over 65 years old and below specific income levels may be entitled to pension benefits if at least one day of their service occurred during wartime. Other pension benefits are available for Medal of Honor recipients and surviving spouses. These benefits can be particularly helpful, such as paying for assisted living facility expenses and other specialized medical care not covered by standard health insurance.
They might also be eligible for low-interest mortgages, educational assistance, and low- or no-cost career counseling. This range of benefits changes occasionally, so it is wise to consult a skilled lawyer for updates on what is available.
What post-mortem services does the government provide?
Veterans’ survivors are often unaware of the post-mortem recognition that the government provides for families, which could include:
- Internment in a VA cemetery or, for recipients of a Purple Heart, Silver Star, or other higher award, burial at Arlington National Cemetery
- A Veteran’s headstone or marker with dates of service
- A ceremonial burial flag that has flown over the U.S. Capitol
- Burial allowances and memorial certificates.
