Can I receive additional benefits for pain and suffering?

Yes, you may be eligible for additional benefits for pain and suffering in Virginia if you are a veteran who has been disabled due to a service-connected disability. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) will pay disability compensation for pain and suffering for veterans with service-connected disabilities. The amount of compensation that will be paid is determined by a rating system, which awards a certain percentage based on the severity of the disability. In some cases, veterans may be awarded a higher disability rating, or a Total Disability rating, if their disability is particularly severe or if they are unable to work due to their disability. If you receive a Total Disability rating, you may qualify for additional benefits, which could include Special Monthly Compensation, for pain and suffering that is caused by your service-connected disability. If you have questions about whether or not you qualify for additional benefits under Virginia’s Veterans Disability Law, you should contact your local VA office or a Veterans Service Officer. They can provide you with guidance and information about what benefits may be available to you.
