BEWARE!
SCAMS from companies claiming to represent the Veterans Administration are on the rise! They tell you they can help you file a VA claim for a fee and will open a trust account for you that any award will go into but then take all the money. Please do not give them any personal information or agree to their terms. Your local veterans service officer, Victor Polanco, can help you file a VA claim and his service to you is FREE!

Veterans Affairs Disability Compensation

VA Disability Compensation
is a monetary benefit paid to Veterans who are disabled by an injury or illness that was incurred or aggravated during active military service.  These disabilities are considered to be service connected.
Confirming eligibility and applying for these benefits require documentation AND submitting it correctly on-line helps to speed the process.
The 5 pages below will get you on the road to requesting compensation.
