Types of VA Benefits You May Qualify For
The VA maintains several core benefit programs, each of which offers unique assistance to veterans and their families based on qualifications and needs. Work with our PBG veterans’ attorneys to determine eligibility for certain programs and maximize the amount of benefits available to you.
Healthcare Benefits
If you are in need of medical assistance, healthcare benefits through the VA may be available to you, including free care at VA medical centers and clinics and low-cost prescription drugs.
Disability Benefits
Veterans who experienced a new or worsening injury or illness related to their time in the service may qualify for VA disability benefits such as coverage for medical care, daily living expenses, and assistive devices.
Housing Benefits
Through targeted housing benefits, including favorable home loans and housing assistance programs, the VA helps qualifying veterans and their loved ones overcome barriers to home ownership and pay for certain home improvements.
Vocational Benefits
The VA offers monthly, tax-free pension benefits to certain veterans based on age, income, and needs-based qualifications.
Pension Benefits
VA home loans are available to qualifying veterans to help remove the barriers to home ownership. They have favorable terms that may include waived down payments and private mortgage insurance (PMIs), competitive interest rates, and financial support for certain home improvements.
Insurance Benefits
If you or an immediate loved one served in the armed forces, you likely qualify for special veteran home, auto, and life insurance policies, which tend to feature lower rates than traditional insurance plans.

- Disability benefits: There is no time limit for when you must apply for VA disability benefits, however back pay is only available for set periods, so apply sooner rather than later if you think that you may be eligible.
- Fully developed claims: After submitting your initial application for benefits, you have one (1) year to supply the VA with all necessary supporting documents.
