VA disability benefits support for veterans’ families and dependents

How Your VA Disability Rating Can Benefit Your Family

Most veterans don’t realize that their VA disability rating can unlock valuable benefits for their family—not just for themselves.

If you’ve received a VA disability rating for a service-connected condition, your spouse, children, or even dependent parents may be eligible for additional support. These benefits include tax-free compensation, healthcare coverage, education assistance, and much more.

Understanding what your rating qualifies you for—and how to claim it—is the first step toward protecting your family’s future.

 

Benefits Your Family May Qualify For

What Is a VA Disability Rating?

Your VA disability rating is a percentage, ranging from 10% to 100%, that reflects how much your service-connected condition impacts your daily life. This rating is assigned by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) based on your medical records, C&P exams, and evidence.

The higher your rating, the greater the benefits you and your family may receive.

Monthly Compensation with Dependents

If you have a 30% VA disability rating or higher, you can add your spouse, children, or dependent parents to your claim. This increases your monthly, tax-free VA compensation.

  • A single veteran with a 70% rating may receive over $1,700/month.

  • With a spouse and/or children, that could rise to over $2,000/month.

Veterans rated under 30% still receive compensation but cannot add dependents.

CHAMPVA: Health Coverage for Family

If you're rated 100% permanently and totally disabled, your family may be eligible for CHAMPVA, which covers:

  • Doctor visits

  • Prescriptions

  • Mental health care

  • Some dental and vision services

This benefit extends to spouses, dependents, and survivors of qualified veterans. You may also receive free VA healthcare for yourself.

Education Benefits (Chapter 35)

The Survivors’ and Dependents’ Educational Assistance Program (DEA)—also known as Chapter 35—offers:

  • Tuition support for college or trade school

  • Career and job training

  • Access to scholarships for spouses and children

These benefits help dependents pursue long-term goals without the financial burden.

Other Financial and Caregiver Support

Veterans with a 100% rating may also qualify for:

  • Property tax exemptions (varies by state)

  • VA home loan funding fee waivers

  • Access to military commissaries and exchanges

  • Caregiver Support Programs for family members (includes monthly stipends, respite care, health coverage, and more)

    VETCOMM offers a Money-Back Guarantee for veterans who follow the full process as outlined. When you sign up, you agree to allow us two attempts to help you secure at least a 10% VA rating. To remain eligible for a refund, you must attend all scheduled appointments with our team and complete your VA-requested C&P exams.

    If your first VETCOMM-assisted claim results in a total VA rating increase of 10% or more, the goal of the course has been achieved and the guarantee is fulfilled. No refund is issued.

    If your first claim does not lead to a 10% total increase, VETCOMM will assist you in filing a second claim.
    If the second claim results in a 10% or greater increase, the goal has been achieved and the guarantee is fulfilled.

    If your second claim also does not result in a 10% total increase, you have two options:

    1. Request a full refund

    2. Proceed with a third filing and waive your right to a refund

    Filing a third claim fulfills the guarantee obligation, regardless of outcome. Many veterans require multiple filings due to documentation challenges or individual circumstances that affect how the VA awards ratings. While we assist in the process, approval decisions are made solely by the VA.

    There are a few situations where the Guarantee Refund Policy does not apply:

    • Veterans with a 90% Total Disability Rating:
      Due to how the VA calculates ratings, increasing from 90% to 100% is very difficult. VETCOMM will still assist with up to three (3) VETCOMM-assisted claims, but no refund will be issued if a 10% total increase is not awarded.

    • Veterans with an Other Than Honorable (OTH) Discharge:
      Veterans with an OTH discharge can still file claims with VETCOMM. However, because of additional VA restrictions, we will assist with up to two (2) VETCOMM-assisted claims, and no refund will be issued if a 10% total increase is not awarded.
