Can I receive special compensation for loss of use of a limb?

Yes, you can receive special compensation for loss of use of a limb if you are a veteran living in Tennessee. Through Veterans Disability Law, veterans in Tennessee can receive a special allowance for a disability caused by the loss or loss of use of a limb or parts of their body, such as arms, legs, hands, or feet. The amount of this allowance will depend on the severity of the disability. In order to be eligible to receive special compensation for loss of use of a limb in Tennessee, the veteran must have a service-connected disability or have been medically discharged due to the disability. All veterans must apply for disability benefits through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and have their application approved for the special allowance to be awarded. Once a veteran is approved for special compensation for loss of use of a limb, they will receive a lump sum payment and then may receive additional monthly payments. The payments are based on the severity of the disability and may be adjusted each year. The VA will also help the veteran with medical and other expenses related to the disability. Veterans living in Tennessee should consult a veterans’ disability attorney to find out more information about this special compensation and other disability benefits available to them.
