 How much money can a veteran get from disability benefits?

The amount of money a veteran can get from disability benefits depends on the severity of their service-connected disability. The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) assigns a disability rating from 10% to 100%, with higher ratings corresponding to more severe disabilities. The VA publishes rates for each disability rating https://www.va.gov/disability/compensation-rates/veteran-rates/. These rates are adjusted annually.

For example, in 2024, a veteran with a 10% disability rating would receive $171.23 per month, while a veteran with a 100% disability rating would receive $3,737.85 per month.

Additionally, veterans with dependents and certain severe conditions may qualify for additional monthly payments on top of the base rate.
