Can I receive benefits if I have multiple disabilities?

Yes, you can receive benefits if you have multiple disabilities in Washington under veterans disability law. Any veteran who is disabled due to an illness or injury that was acquired or aggravated during active service is eligible for veterans disability benefits. The disabilities must be evaluated, and the severity of each disability will affect how much you can receive in benefits. If you have multiple disabilities, you will need to provide proof of each disability to the VA. Each disability will be evaluated and you will receive a percentage rating for each one. The percentage ratings from each disability are then added together to determine your overall disability rating. This overall disability rating will be used to determine the amount of your disability benefits. The VA will also take your age and the severity of each disability into account when determining your benefits. If you have disabilities that interfere with your ability to work, the VA may also consider your employment history and educational accomplishments when determining your benefits. In Washington, veterans receive their benefits through the Washington Department of Veterans Affairs. To apply for benefits, veterans should contact their local VA Regional office. The VA will review all the information provided and make a final determination regarding your benefits.
