What is VA Disability?
A rating assigned by the VA for service-connected injuries or conditions, from 0% to 100%.
Definition
VA disability compensation is a tax-free monthly benefit paid to veterans with service-connected injuries, illnesses, or conditions. The rating is expressed as a percentage (10%, 30%, 70%, 100%) based on the severity of the condition and its impact on daily life and employability. A 100% rating — especially with Permanent and Total (P&T) status — is the highest classification and carries significant benefits including full disability compensation, health care, and education benefits for dependents.

VA disability ratings are shorthand for the physical and psychological cost of service — in veteran relationships, they're part of the context that shapes daily life, and partners who understand the system are invaluable.
