How much money will I receive in disability benefits?
The amount of money you will receive in disability benefits will depend on the particular disability you are claiming and your individual circumstances. In Alaska, veterans with a service-connected disability who were honorably discharged may be eligible for VA disability benefits. Generally, these benefits are paid in a range of percentages from 0% to 100%, with higher percentages associated with more severe disabilities. VA disability benefits are paid monthly and the amount of payment depends on how severe your disability is rated. For instance, veterans who have a service-connected disability rated at 10% receive a basic monthly rate of $140.83, whereas veterans with a disability rated at 100% receive the highest rate of $3,146.42. In addition to the amount of disability rating, other factors such as dependency status and dependents can affect the amount of benefits received. In order to determine the exact amount of which you would be eligible, you must submit an application for disability benefits to the VA. They will assess your circumstance and provide you with an estimated amount of which you will be eligible for. Additionally, the Alaska Division of Veterans Affairs may be able to provide additional information regarding disability benefits and other important information.
