How do I find out if I'm eligible for disability compensation?

If you are a veteran who has been disabled while serving in the military, you may be eligible for disability compensation from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). To find out if you are eligible for benefits in Hawaii, you will need to contact your local VA office and fill out an application. When applying for benefits, you will need to provide the VA with evidence of your disability, such as a medical report or letter from an authorized medical professional. You will also need to provide your military discharge papers (DD-214) to prove that you served in the military and describe the circumstances in which you were disabled. The VA will review your documents and decide whether or not you are eligible for disability compensation. If you are approved, you will receive a monthly payment based on the severity of your disability. The amount of money you can receive varies, depending on the number and severity of any disabilities you have. In addition to disability compensation, you may be eligible for other benefits such as educational assistance, home loan guarantees, and health care. You can learn more about these benefits and how to apply for them by visiting the VA website or contacting your local VA office.
