Q: How do I apply for Veteran’s Disability Compensation?
A: You can file your disability claim in person by visiting your local VA regional office. You will need to complete VA Form 21-526, Veterans Application for Compensation and/or Pension. If have the following documentation, bring it with you to the RO:
--Discharge or separation papers (DD214 or equivalent)
--Dependency records (i.e., marriage and children's birth certificates)
--Medical evidence (medical records and evaluations)
You can also apply online at the VONAPP website.
