8 Benefits You Can Get With 100% Service Connection 

Being a POG and going to sick call everyday with the intent to get disability money for a broken fingernail makes us look bad. If you get it stop glorifying it, keep it to yourself. Dudes walking around at REI and rock climbing bragging about 100% disability is going to cost the guys who are actually disabled to get their shit cut

Don't forget dental at va facility and also flights thru air bases and some resorts across world and country and in some bases get discounts

Thank you for taking the time in sharing your knowledge with us!

Florida, your property tax exemption = your rating percentage.

If you have the new VA ID Card and its the one that lists your Branch and that you are service connected. That Troop can now shop at the PX and Commissary.

Free National Park access and discounted RV sites.

Thank you for you all do with providing superb information to veterans and families.

You do not have to be 100% for commissary privileges, I am getting them at 70%.

These "shows" never say that if your disability is 100% and that you are not faking it, that you also live life with 100% physical and mental pain 24/7 until you die. I've overheard many vets while at a VA hospital of clinic on how to fake certain conditions.

Good information. TY. Small feedback. I have and many have Tinnitus. You’re in a room (I think) with no carpet and there is a bad echo when you talk. I’d like the info wo distractions.

You get free glasses and dental if you’re 100 per cent. You can shop at commissaries and gas up on base. Your spouse and dependents can shop at PX, commissary, and get gas too. Heck you can even shop for furniture if there’s a furniture shop on base.

Upon the death of a 100% disabled Veteran the surviving Spouse gets a "Portion" of the deceased Veterans monthly compensation. That money can only passed on to the Spouse (on a monthly payment for the life of the Spouse) if they have been married for 10 years from the date of rating Award Letter. As of now, 06/24, there is a new Bill moving through the Senate that will reduce the time to 5 years and greatly increase the amount. Also the surviving Spouse can keep their Champ VA.

They have not bugged me as I have had surgery for every claim. I have dates of actual combat situations that caused these issues. Your combat unit has records of dates and areas of operation. THAT seals the deal, so to speak.

It has always been that you had to be rated at 100% for 10 years for your spouse to be eligible for D&IC, if you died from something other than a service connected disability. Has this changed now to 8 years?

I’m all for the benefits for 100% disabled veterans. But why don’t you guys go up against the government for all of us that’s less than 100%. I see no reason why that the compensation pay should be based on the percentage for the rest of us. 50% should be 1/2 the pay of 100. Even 10% should be 10% of the 100% pay. It’s time for you guys to make this right for everyone who’s less than 100%

Yes, it does work for trade schools also. Im 100% P & T since 2017, and my stepson used it to go to Welding School.

TY! Good coverage of the main benefits. Veterans and spouses should know that DIC is not the same rate as veteran disability compensation. I personally have a folder on my computer in case I pass with all information for my spouse related to DIC. Another great benefit for 100% total and permanent veterans through the VA is dental.

Dont forget that the Washington Post doesnt think you should have these...that these are luxuries. Make sure your riding your representatives asses.

I'm 100% service connected and it was very easy for me. My disabilities are well documented when I was on active duty. I also have no claims for PTSD and anyone who claims that is automatically scrutinized heavily because of the massive amount of cases in the system. People have issues with the VA but mine have been mostly positive and easy to navigate, but then again my issues are easily verified with my active duty medical records, bloodwork, and radiology.

Don't forget space available flights as well. However, at the same level, priority as military retirees.

Thank you very much, ladies.

DEA aka Chapter 35 also means your dependents (RE: spouse/children) pay IN STATE TUITION no matter what state they choose to attend school.

I have learned so much from yall. You indirectly helped me realize the claims that i actually should have made when i retired, but i always just "sucked it up". Took me a few years, but i got my rating. I do have one question. I just got my 100%, but I have claims that are on appeal still and have been for over 2 years. What happens with those appeals?? I really dont want to poke the bear needlessly

Can you expound more on DIC benefits? And DEA benefits specifically courses for spouse to continue working career education? Thanks

HI GUYS. I served in Panama 1967 to 1969. I have symptoms of similar to Agent Orange. I often wondered what was used as a defoliant on the firing range, fence line around the Base, along both sides of the Canal and the lakes.

Need clarification. I’ve been determined to be 100% but my ID card shows expiration as “Indef” not Permanent. Is this the same as Permanent?

I have a question, maybe one of you might have an answer. I received a loan forgiveness a few years ago and was told while I was going through the process, I didn't have to make any payments on my loan. It may have taken 2-3 months for the approval to go through. In the meantime Nelnet dinged my credit report. My credit report to this day states that I was 90 days late in making a payment. I have already spoken to Nelnet about it on several occassions and they won't remove the "delinquency" Did any of you experience this? Did you get it resolved? If so, how? It's an old entry, but still.

I retired in 2017 after 33 years of total service active . reserve and war service. I will be 57 next month, I was 10%, 30%, 70% and then in 2018 I was awarded 100% with my combine rating letter, but I never claimed all that was wrong. Can I claim permanent since I have not worked since 2018 or will they require another C&PE? I am due to collect my military pension either at age 59 based on my war service, or is it worth trying to have it changed to permanent?

This law firm helped me get my TDIU after I couldn't get anywhere with them.

Some states offer partial or total property tax exempt

Thank the both of you excellent.

I heard that it is difficult get permanent & total 100%.

You don't need to be 100% to use commissary, exchange, or MWR privileges. 0-100% rating and must have a veteran health identification card. If you cannot get a card, you are not eligible. For anyone that doesn't know.

Democrats in congress has a proposed bill to reduce benefits in coming budgets. The 1960's and 70's are returning. I applied for Unemployability claim which Virginia Veteran Affairs service says may take me to 100%. I am at 90% now. The VA has been waiting on Social Security Office to see if I receive disability from them. It has been months already waiting. Social Security has NO priority for veterans and will delay any response.

Just curious- I recently got my disabled mother who is 83 approved as my VA dependent- any information on why she cannot receive any health care support through champ ? Not all veterans have spouses and/ or kids as dependents.... a dependent is a dependent right ?

Do you need P&T for some of these 8 benefits?

Information regarding DIC is wrong. 10 years, not 8. DEA is chapter 35 GI bill. They also missed student loan forgiveness. Fail.

“I belive”

I do get Doc benefits . My husband passed away in 2008. Can I get the upgrade on his agent Orange. When he passed he passed away from everything service connected he was 100 percent service connected and he was 100 percent disabled. I miss him so much.

I'm 60% and also have exchange privileges. That does not require 100%.

Should I or should I not submit a claim for smc-k secondary to my service connected injury? Would they examine my sc injury or my entire file?

less than 100% but P&T qaulifies for being 100 and not pand will not

How much is required for hiring legal assistance with disability claims? I have six claims; two have been accepted, and 4 others have been denied.

Y'll lawyers are 🔥!

I was surprised to hear both of you say, "I believe it does" when referring to vocational training benefits for dependents. You should know if it does or doesn't. Scrolling through the comments, it would appear that they don't answer any questions. I guess they would have to consider it as legal advice.

You have to be "lucky" to be totally disabled while staying alive to receive the benefit.

DEA benefits kick in only after you have held your 100 for three years I believe its not instant

Can I get additional benefits with TDIU?

As far as reducing benefits they have protected pension that's what we have. I was on champ va and 20 yrs later they corrected his military records and was given a 50 percent combined from the navy and retired benefits no pay from the military because his 100 percent disability from va I lost my champ va due to new medical benefits from navy but we cant take the payment from retirement. The secretary of the navy said retirement from 2018 back to 2004 and we haven't been reimbursed or received the 50 percent disability payment from the navy he should also be getting concurrent retired pay and disability pay from the va at the same time do to a 50 percent disability and 100 percent from va so how do we get his retirement to pay tricare and dental and the S.G.L.I benefits no pay makes no sense we rather have the retirement. And pay the taxes !

And try to keep applying for permanent total and I get unemployment right now and you tell me not to reapply to get my hundred percent total and permanent and I don't know where to go

Can I get my wife's student debt wiped instead of mine?

What about concurrent retirement. If I’m getting 20 year retirement and I also have 100% VA disability do I get all of my retirement?

H&P took good care of me, I recommend them, they are professional and knowledgeable.

Crummy audio for us with bad hearing !

I aldo ger a break on my property taxes in Ohio

can you get 100% disability if you were Army National Guard that was never on active duty? If so, how?

I’m 100% my son passed away and I help his kids 10 and 13 he wasn’t married but I have his kids about 15 days a month more in summer I help buy clothes and with money for them is there some kind of allowance to offset my cost!!!

ChampVA is a secondary insurance and, although slightly helpful, maybe just give full, real health insurance?

In Colorado, you can get your disabled vehicle tags at a 50% disability rating.

I believe that Champ Va Healthcare benefits are only available if you are "100% Disabled and Total". I am not elligble as I am 100% Disabled only.

Can I the disabled p n t veteran use my Gi bill and my husband use Dea benefit during the same time? How can I arrange for us both to be in school with my benefits? Is this possible?

I got my rating today and looked up videos to learn more. Most have thumbnails of people looking like they won the lottery. I shit blood on a weekly basis. Sure don't feel like a "winner." I get it, but...fuck.

Great ladies! Y'all be Hot! Lol

These videos are easy to watch with the woman on the left!! Smokin’ 🔥

Pretty good 💯🙏😇

Takes sometimes almost a year to get Champ VA to process paperwork

She's so beautiful ❤

Was wondering if you can tell me for 100% P&T veterans, for their dependents, are they offered dental care coverage or only CHAMPVA?

They need more information in Puerto Rico.

i get free license plate.

I'm going to make a claim but do I do everything only one claim including my secondary's or do I do 1 at a time not sure how to go about this or where to go I am in Oregon do I go to a local VFW or the local VA????

I was told I would have to live 10 years for my wife to get benefits. It has been 8 and 1/2 years since I was made 100%. I worry about my wife having enough money to live on. How much will she get? Also the ChampVA hasn't helped much. Please steer us in the right direction. Thank you so much. Stay Safe and God Bless.

Rachelle is so pretty

i need to go to rehab and so far they decline my va champa

why dont anyone make videos on the negatives and reality to being 100% and really being that disabled

👍

They’ll never give me 100% I’ve tried

I need yall help so bad .

That 7th one, commissary benefits. That is wrong, commissary is open to veterans with 0-100% service connected and with an honorable discharge.

What if you're 80% but paid at the 100% IU permanent and total, can you still get a job, and not lose the 100% rate of pay, or do they reduce it?

Kids get chapter 35 benefits

If you do 20 years you should get 100% of your pay....but no monetary comp from the VA. If you do less than 20 you and your family should get VA medical for life, regardless. Do away with ratings.

They changed the 8 years to 10 years.

Huge the spouse is taking care of after the veterans passing if 100 PANDT

I’m not at 100% still working towards it. I’m at 90 right now but have a claim of 70% for PTSD/TBI would I qualify for the extra compensation if I get my hundred percent?

My accumulated disability is 290%

She’s a baddie

How do you recognize information indirectly offered by unverifiable sources regarding student loans or any other benefits entitled?

it just sucks losing your PCM that you grew a connection wtih because they told me l couldn't use them because l wasn't active duty no more then been giving someone 50 mins away then switching to someone closer with no openings until 4 months down the rode.. makes me want to go back active but oh well l guess things could be worse

I am 100% + 60%. How do I apply for the additional stipend? Thank you.

My husband passed a month ago. He was a 100 % disability, this was caused from Vietnam, needed a heart transplant. No children, what are we looking at in amount. Been married a little over 5 years…Tyvm

I've been a 100% disabled Navy veteran since August 1996 and by October 2000 I started receiving benifits and medical and the one thing I hate is how long it takes to get a apt. because it took me 1 1/2 years to get a dental apt...
