The federal government provides a wide range of benefits to Veterans and their families. These benefits include disability benefits, pensions, education benefits, home loan guaranties, mental health and substance abuse treatment, vocational and small business services, medical and dental care, nursing home services and burial and cemetery services. The U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) administers the services and benefits. Disability compensation is a tax-free benefit paid to a Veteran for disabilities related to injuries or diseases that developed or were aggravated by military service.
