Eligibility for VA Disability. If youâre a veteran suffering from arthritis, there are a number of ways you may be eligible for VA disability. Most specifically, if you were diagnosed with arthritis within a year of being discharged from service, you are presumed to have an impairment that is service-connected.
To receive VA Disability, a veteran must go through the VA Disability Process. After applying for VA Disability, the veteran undergoes the C&P Exams to determine the severity of the conditions being evaluated for VA Disability. The VAâs Rating Authorities then assign a VA Disability Rating to each condition. These ratings are based on the laws of the VASRD and are used to determine the exact amount of VA Disability the veteran will receive. Note: All VA Disability is NOT taxable! Return to Top
