Benefits By Rating
Veteran benefits often evolve as disability ratings increase.
What Does A 60% VA Disability Rating Mean?
A 60% disability rating reflects substantial service-connected impairment and often represents multiple service-connected conditions affecting daily life.

Note: Compensation amounts may vary depending on eligible dependents and annual VA cost-of-living adjustments.

Potential services include:
• Primary care
• Specialty care
• Mental health services
