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.
At that time the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) will make a determination as to whether or not the veteran qualifies for disability compensation, and, if so, determine the degree of disability the veteran has suffered in ten percent increments, ranging from 10% to 100% disabled.ost veterans of the United States Armed Forces who have a disability connected to their service are eligible for veterans disability benefits. Generally speaking, disability benefits are available to disabled veterans as long as the veteran remains disabled and until his or her death.
