Compensations benefits for veterans
Disability compensation
Disability compensation is provided to the veterans who are
suffering from disease or got injured during their active military
services. It is a tax-free financial aid
paid to the veterans. Compensation is also post for post-service disabilities,
which are related to the military service circumstances, even in the case of sickness
arises after service. Usually, the severity of the disability specified is also
designed in a way that can compensate for the loss of working time from illness
or exacerbations.
Special monthly compensation
SMC is also compensation, which is tax-free provided to
veterans, surviving children, spouses, and parents. SMC is a high rate of
compensation that is paid in exceptional cases like attendance by others, the
need for aid, and specific disability like loss of hand or legs. For the
veteran's family, SMC is paid based on the necessity of attendance and aid.
There are several other benefits that veterans get, such as
insurance and housing benefits. Veterans with disabilities are granted
compensations like
- Service –disable veterans insurance
- Adapted housing grants
- Veterans mortgage life insurance
Veterans are provided by several benefits which are
mentioned above, but all this is going to be of no use if you are unaware of
the process about how to use MHV.
