This document provides an overview of veterans disability compensation from the Zimberlin Law LLC. It discusses the two major VA disability benefits of service-connected compensation and needs-based non-service connected pension. For service-connected compensation, a veteran must show they have a current disability, an incident during service, and a link between the disability and the in-service incident. There are five ways to establish service connection, including direct connection or aggravation. The process for filing a claim and potential appeals is also outlined.
