The Veterans Administration administers two disability programs designed to help veterans with support and benefits.
Eligibility for the Veterans Disability Compensation Program is not based on financial need. Assets and income are not qualifying factors and therefore do not affect eligibility. The veteran's injury or disease, however, must have been incurred or aggravated while on active military duty.
On the other hand, the Veterans Disability Pension Program is tailored for low-income veterans who are totally and permanently disabled. The disability need not be connected to time spent on active military duty. Unlike the previously mentioned compensation benefit, this is a needs-based program, similar to Medicaid or Supplemental Security Income.
