Vets Money Injured Military Apply Eslpod War Related Disabilities

The United States Department of Veterans "Affairs" (issues; things someone is involved in) provides many types of financial support for American vets, and especially for vets who were injured while serving in the military and are now disabled.

Vets who were injured during military service may be "eligible for" (able to receive or apply for) monthly "compensation" (money received; payments). The amount of the payment depends on the type and "severity" (how bad something is) of the injury and the resulting disability. For severe disabilities, the compensation may be more if the vet has "dependents" (people who financially depend on the vet and live with him or her, usually a husband or wife, or child).

If a vet is "killed in action" (killed while fighting in a war), the "surviving spouse" (the husband or wife who is still alive) and/or other dependents may be eligible for financial compensation

The "GI Bill" and other programs give vets money for "higher education" (classes leading to a college degree). The amount of money received depends on how long the vet served in the military and which school he or she plans to attend. The money can be used for tuition, fees, textbooks, and more. Injured or disabled vets can apply for "vocational rehabilitation" services that help vets train for new jobs that they can do with their disabilities.

Vets can also apply for special "home loans" (money one can use to buy a home, but must pay back) and "life insurance" (a policy that pays money to one's family members if one dies).
