Agent Orange
Agent Orange was a defoliant used during the Vietnam War. Some known effects are listed in 38 CFR §3.309(e).

For more detailed information and new changes see: Agent Orange Home Page
See also Spina Bifida below.

AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome)
AIDS can qualify as a service connected disability. Improved Pension may also be paid if AIDS is the disability preventing the veteran from working.

For more information see the Veterans Health Administration web site on Public Health Strategic Healthcare Group

Aid & Attendance Allowance
An additional benefit paid to veterans, their spouses, surviving spouses and parents. This allowance is paid in all Compensation, Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC) and Pension Programs. It is paid based on the need of aid and attendance by another person or by specific disability. Special Monthly Compensation (L) can at times be designated an aid & attendance benefit.

Eligibility criteria, see 38 CFR §§3.350 (Special Monthly Compensation), 3.351 (Special monthly Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC), death compensation, pension and spouse's compensation ratings), 3.552 (Determining need for aid & attendance, housebound).
See also Special Monthly Compensation (SMC) below.
Rates, see Special Monthly Compensation (SMC), Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC) - Surviving Spouse or Parents, Improved Pension - Disability or Death.

Appeals
If you do not like a VA decision, most can be appealed. Start by contacting your nearest office.

Appeals are first made to the office that made the decision. A hearing officer or decision review officer usually handles these cases. If the case is still in dispute it is then sent to the Board of Veterans Appeals (BVA). If it is not resolved there, it can be appealed outside the Department of Veterans Affairs to the Court of Appeals for Veteran Claims (CAVC).

VA does not handle CAVC appeals. You must contact CAVC within 120 days from your BVA decision.

Application
OnLine Application's are available for Compensation, Pension and Vocational Rehabilitation & Employment benefits. Your application may need supporting evidence and/or documents. (If any of the evidence is not immediately available, send in the application anyway. The date VA receives your application is important to you, if VA grants your claim. VA benefits payments usually will begin from that date regardless of when the claim is approved.)

See also Forms or contact your nearest office.

Automobile Allowance & Adaptive Equipment
One automobile allowance is payable to certain very disabled veterans. Some reimbursement is possible for adaptive equipment. Check with your nearest office before making any purchases.

Eligibility criteria, see 38 CFR §3.808

Compensation
This benefit program evaluates disability resulting from all types of diseases and injuries encountered as a result of military service.

Those applicants who have medical records to substantiate any and all treatment by private doctors and hospitals are encouraged to submit them with their application to expedite processing.

Merchant Marine
Members of the Merchant Marine are considered veterans.

Eligibility Criteria, see 38 CFR § 3.7.
See: Benefits for Merchant Marines

Evidence requirements, see 38 CFR §3.203.

Military Retired Pay
By law, the payment of VA compensation benefits is affected by the receipt of military retired pay. If you receive military retirement, you may initiate a waiver of your retired pay to receive the full amount of VA compensation. Until the waiver takes effect, your compensation will be adjusted or withheld depending on the amount of military retired pay you are entitled to. The advantage of waiving military retired pay for VA compensation is that while VA benefits are reportable for Federal tax purposes, they are not taxable. Check with the IRS web site for more tax information.

See Retirement Pay, 38 CFR §3.750.

Military Services

Parents may be biological, step, adopted, or in loco parentis.

Eligibility criteria, see 38 CFR §§3.5 Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC), 3.59 (Parent), or 3.209 (Birth).
Rates, see Compensation and Parents Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC) Rate Tables.

Pension is available to veterans, surviving spouses and children, if the veteran has qualifying service and there is financial need. Veterans must also have a qualifying disability which need not be service-connected.

Three pension programs are currently being paid. Only one program is still accepting applications - Improved Disability or Death Pension.

See Concurrent Benefit and Elections, 38 CFR §3.700.

Service Connection
Service connection for a disability or death is established through many ways. The four most common are:

1. Disability or death was incurred in military service. 38 CFR §§3.303, 3.304
2. Aggravation of a before service disability during service. 38 CFR §3.306
3. Presumption that the disease or disability was incurred in military service. 38 CFR §§3.307, 3.308, 3.309
4. Because of a service-connected disability, a secondary condition has occurred. 38 CFR §3.310

Service connection of a disease or disability is necessary before disability compensation can be paid.

Service Medical Records
Those applicants who have their service medical records are encouraged to submit them with their application to expedite processing. Otherwise, VA will contact the service department to obtain them.

Sexual Trauma
See Women's Issues below. This information is stored under "women", but it applies to both sexes.
Also see Compensation Benefits for Sexual Trauma Fact Sheet

Social Security Administration
Social Security Administration (SSA) and VA often serve the same people at the same time. To prevent mispayment (under payment as well as overpayment), the VA works closely with SSA.

We also share medical information but only with the person's permission.
SSA benefits (retirement or disability) are counted as income for VA purposes (IVAP). But SSI (Supplemental Security Income) benefits are not.
It is mandatory that anyone placing a claim with VA provides their Social Security number (if they have one) (38 CFR §3.216).

* Employment Support (SSA)

More information, see Compensation & Pension Service's Fast Letter 99-124.

Special Monthly Compensation (SMC)
Special Monthly Compensation (SMC) is a rate paid in addition to (i.e., SMC (K)) or in place of 0% to 100% combined degree compensation. To qualify, a veteran must be disabled beyond a combined degree percentage or due to special circumstances (i.e., aid and attendance, loss of use of one hand, etc.). SMCs are referred to by the letters (K) through (R.2). These alphabetic designations follow the paragraph numbering system in 38 U.S.C. §1114 (also see references to that in 38 CFR §3.350 below).

Eligibility criteria, see 38 CFR §3.350 (Special Monthly Compensation)
Rates, see Special Monthly Compensation (SMC)

Survivor Benefit Plan (SBP)
Since September 21, 1972, the Survivor Benefit Plan has been available for retired service personnel and commissioned officers of the Public Health Service. Eligible persons designate all or a part of retired pay as a basis for survivor's annuity. Eligible surviving spouses of military retirees who did not participate in the plan and who died prior to September 21, 1973 are eligible for SBP-MIW (Survivor Benefit Plan - Minimum Income Annuity). To be eligible the surviving spouse must not be remarried, must be eligible for VA death pension, and must have income for VA purposes, excluding any SBP annuity, of less than the MIW-SBP annuity limitation.

Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC): SBP survivor's annuity to a surviving spouse is subject to reduction or discontinuance if the spouse becomes eligible for Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC). Concurrent payment of SBP and Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC) to children or parents is not prohibited. Contact the respective military payment center.

Pension: Any payments under MIW-SBP is income for VA purposes. See 38 CFR §3.261 (a)(14) and §3.271.
