disability
VA Disability Compensation
Monthly tax-free pay for conditions connected to service. The claim is won or lost on evidence.
disability
Benefits Delivery at Discharge (BDD)
File 180–90 days before separation so a rating can be waiting when you take the uniform off.
disability
Higher-Level Review
A senior rater looks at the same evidence. No new records — pick this lane on purpose.
disability
Accredited VSO claims help
DAV, VFW, American Legion, and state VSOs can file and appear with you — no fee for the claim itself.
health
VA Health Care enrollment
Priority groups, not a single yes/no. Enrollment is a clock and a group assignment.
health
VA Community Care
See a civilian provider when VA cannot get you in. Eligibility is drive-time and wait-time math.
health
VA Caregiver Support (PCAFC)
Stipend, training, and respite when a family member is the one holding the household together.
family
CHAMPVA
Health coverage for the spouse or child of a veteran who is 100% permanently and totally disabled, or who died of a service-connected condition.
education
Post-9/11 GI Bill
Tuition, housing stipend, and transfer-to-dependents rules. Entitlement is a clock — spend it on purpose.
education
Montgomery GI Bill (Chapter 30)
Still pays if you bought in. Compare it to Post-9/11 before a school tells you which one is better.
education
Yellow Ribbon Program
Extra help at participating schools when tuition is above the Post-9/11 cap.
work
Veteran Readiness & Employment (Chapter 31)
School, training, and job placement when a service-connected condition changes the civilian path.
work
DoD SkillBridge
Last 180 days on orders, still paid by DoD, training into a civilian job instead of guessing after ETS.
housing
VA Home Loan Guaranty
Zero down and no PMI for eligible buyers. First step is a Certificate of Eligibility, then a VA-approved lender.
housing
Specially Adapted Housing grant
A grant to build or modify a home when a qualifying disability changes how you live in it. Not a loan.
mental
Vet Centers
Community counseling for combat, MST, and readjustment — often faster than the main hospital queue.
family
Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC)
Monthly compensation for survivors when the veteran’s death is service-connected, or in certain 100% P&T situations.
family
Military OneSource
Confidential counseling, tax help, and move support while you are still in the DoD family.
pension
Veterans Pension
A needs-based wartime pension when income and net worth are under VA limits — not the same as disability compensation.
burial
VA burial and memorial benefits
National cemetery burial, headstone, and burial allowance for eligible veterans and some family members.
disability
PACT Act toxic-exposure claims
Presumptive conditions from burn pits, Agent Orange, radiation, and other toxic exposures. File the condition, not the slogan.
disability
Supplemental Claim
New and relevant evidence after a denial. Different lane from Higher-Level Review.
disability
Board of Veterans’ Appeals
A Veterans Law Judge reviews the case. Three lanes: direct review, evidence submission, or a hearing.
mental
Military Sexual Trauma care and claims
MST-related care does not require a disability rating. A claim for MST-related conditions is a separate track.
education
DEA / Chapter 35 Dependents’ Education
Education benefits for a spouse or child when the veteran is permanently and totally disabled, or died of a service-connected condition.
family
VGLI life insurance
Convert SGLI after separation. The clock is short. Health questions get harder if you wait.
housing
SSVF — homeless prevention and rapid rehousing
Supportive Services for Veteran Families. Rent help and case management through a local nonprofit, not a VA loan.
work
TAP and the civilian handoff
Transition Assistance Program is DoD’s classroom. Pair it with BDD, SkillBridge, and a VGLI calendar.
health
VA dental care
Dental is not automatic with VA health enrollment. Eligibility is a short published list.
health
Find a VA facility or Vet Center
Medical centers, clinics, and Vet Centers by address. The live locator is on VA.gov; a ZIP search on this site is next.
education
GI Bill Comparison Tool
School-level housing stipend, Yellow Ribbon, and outcome data. Use it before you sign an enrollment agreement.
