We assign you a disability rating based on the severity of your disability .   [7] We express this rating as a percentage , representing how much your disability decreases your overall health and ability to function .   [8] We then use your disability rating to determine your disability compensation rate , so we can calculate how much money you ll receive from us each month .
Good to know! Another question related to my application for benefits, is the crisis line available now?
you can connect with a Veterans Crisis Line responder any time , day or night .
How is this affected by whether or not we have disabilities?
