Question of the Week:
Q. I am a Korea veteran with
a service-connected disability. I
want to get a GI insurance policy
available to disabled Korea vet
erans. What is my deadline—one
year from discharge, or one year
from the date VA rated my dis
ability?
A. Your deadline is one year
from the date VA has determin
ed your disability to be service
connected.
Q. I am drawing monthly dis
ability compensation payments
fromVA, and I also am paying
monthly premiums on my GI in
surance. Would there be any
way for VA to deduct enough
money out of my compensation
to take care of my insurance pre
miums, so that I wouldn’t have
to bother with them every
month:
A. Yes. So long as your disabil
ity compensation checks are large
enough to cover your GI insur
ance premiums, you may apply
to VA to have the premiums tak
en out of your compensation.
