Compensation
Veterans and their families may be entitled to compensation by the government for injuries sustained while serving in the military. These benefits could be the form of disability or pension. When considering a personal-injury lawsuit or settlement on behalf of a disabled veteran, there are some important aspects to be aware of.
For instance when the disabled veteran receives an award in their legal case against the at-fault party, which causes them harm, and they also have an VA disability compensation claim, the amount of the settlement or jury verdict can be withdrawn from their VA payments. However, there are certain limitations on this kind of garnishment. First, the court must have filed a petition for apportionment of the disability compensation. Then only a portion of between 20% and 50 percent of the monthly pay may be garnished.
Another thing to consider is that the compensation is determined by a percentage of the disability of a veteran and not on actual earnings earned from working.

It can also be accessed by surviving spouses and dependent children. Congress determines the pension amount according to the level of disability, the degree of disability, and dependents. The VA has regulations that define the method of calculating assets in order to determine eligibility for pension benefits.

Allen), Mississippi (Steiner v. Steiner), and Wisconsin (In re Marriage of Wojcik).
