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.
Disabled veterans can receive VA disability benefits and Social Security disability benefits simultaneously, so itâs not uncommon for veterans to apply for both types of benefits at the same time. If youâre a disabled veteran, you may be eligible for Social Security disability benefits if youâre unable to work full-time.
