How is the amount of disability compensation determined?
The amount of your disability compensation depends on the seriousness of your disability. When you apply for disability compensation, your medical records are reviewed and usually you have a VA medical examination. Your disability is rated and expressed as a percentage. The monthly payment you receive is based on this percentage. If you have dependents, an additional allowance may be added if your disability is more than 30%. An allowance for clothing or transportation is available if certain requirements are met.
