What do servicemembers need to know about disability benefits?
Some servicemembers come from a military family and want to follow the example set by their parents or grandparents. Others may end up fast-tracked toward military service because they attend certain high schools or colleges. There are also some people who look at military service as a means of developing career skills or securing financial support during college.
Those who pursue a career in the military may find themselves unable to continue their chosen profession because of health challenges. Thankfully, the United States Department of Veteran’s Affairs (VA) offers disability benefits to those with health conditions related to their service that affect their income.
