What You Need to Know About Veterans Disability Settlement
The VA program pays compensation for disability on the basis of loss of earning capacity. This system is different from the workers' comp programs.
Jim received a lump-sum settlement of $100,000. The VA will increase each year the lump sum over one year. This will offset his Pension benefit. The applicant can only apply for a second time after the annualized amount has been returned to him.
Compensation
veterans disability attorneys and their families could be eligible for compensation from the government for injuries suffered while serving in the military. These benefits can be in the form of a pension or veterans disability disability payment. If you're thinking about a personal injury lawsuit or settlement on behalf of a disabled veteran there are some key points to be aware of.
For instance in the event that a disabled veteran receives an award in their case against the at-fault party who caused the damage and they also have an VA disability compensation claim and the amount of the settlement or jury verdict can be withdrawn from their VA payments. This type of garnishment is subject to some restrictions. First the court must have filed a petition seeking apportionment of the disability payment. Then only a certain percentage of between 20 and 50 percent, of the monthly compensation may be garnished.
Another thing to keep in mind is that the compensation is dependent on a percentage of a veteran's disabilities and not based on actual earnings earned from an employment. This means that the higher a veteran's disability score is, the more they be compensated. Children and spouses of disabled veterans who have died from service-related illness or injuries are eligible for a specific benefit known as Dependency Insurance Compensation (DIC).
There are a lot of misconceptions about the impact of veterans' pension benefits, disability payments and other compensations offered by the Department of Veterans Affairs on the financial aspects of divorce. These misconceptions can cause a difficult divorce even more difficult for veterans and their families.
Pension
Veterans Disability Pension is a tax-free benefit that is paid to veterans with disabilities incurred or worsened during military service. It is also available to the surviving spouses and dependent children. The pension rate is determined by Congress and Veterans disability is determined by the amount of disability, the degree of disability, and whether there are dependents. The VA has regulations that govern how assets are calculated to determine eligibility for Pension benefits. The VA will take into account the veteran's home, vehicle and personal belongings. However the remaining assets that are not exempted by the veteran must be less than $80.000 to show financial need.
There is a common misconception that courts can garnish VA disability payments in order to meet court-ordered child or spousal support obligations. However, it's important to realize that this isn't the situation.
The courts are only able to garnish the pension of a veteran if they have waived military retired pay to receive compensation for disability. 38 U.S.C. (a) SS5301 (a) is the statute that governs this.
It is important to know that this does not apply to CRSC or TDSC pay, as these programs are specifically designed to provide higher levels of income for disabled veterans. It is important to remember, too, that a veteran’s personal injury settlement may reduce their eligibility for aid and attendance.
SSI
If a veteran has no earned income and has permanent disabilities they could be eligible for Supplemental Security Income (SSI). This is a needs-based program. SSI is only available to people who have low incomes and assets. Some individuals may also be eligible for a VA monthly pension. The amount is contingent on the length of their service and wartime period as well as a disability rating.
Most veterans are not qualified to receive both a Pension and Compensation benefit at the same time. If a person gets a disability payment and a pension from the VA the VA will not provide a Supplemental Security income benefit.
The VA must report to the Social Security Administration your monthly military retirement, CRDP, or CRSC. This is almost always a cause for an increase in your SSI benefit. SSA can also use the VA waiver of benefits to calculate your SSI income.
If a veteran is required to pay support pursuant to an order issued by a court the court may send the order directly to VA to levy the retirement benefits of the military. This could be the case in divorce cases where the retired person waives their military retirement pay in exchange for their VA disability benefits. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in the recent case Howell that such a practice was in violation of federal law.
Medicaid
A veteran who has an impairment that is connected to service may be eligible for Medicare and Medicaid benefits. He must prove that he's in the look-back period, which is five years. The applicant must also submit documents to prove his citizenship status. He is not able to transfer his assets without a fair price, however, he can keep one vehicle and his primary residence. He also has the option of keeping the cash equivalent of up to $1500 or the face value of a life insurance policy.
In divorce the judge could decide to consider the veteran's VA Disability payments as income when calculating child support and maintenance following the divorce. This is due to numerous court decisions that have upheld the right of family courts to utilize these payments as income in support calculations. These include decisions from Florida, Mississippi (Steiner v. Steiner), Wisconsin (In the case of Wojcik's marriage), and other states.
The amount of VA disability compensation is contingent upon the severity of the service-connected condition. It is calculated based on a chart that ranks the severity of the condition. It could vary from 10 percent up to 100 percent with higher ratings earning the highest amount. It is also possible for veterans to receive additional compensation for attendance and aid expenses, or monthly payments that are not based upon a schedule but upon the degree of the disability.
