How do you determine what your veterans disability benefit will be?
The patient vet doesn't make that determination. The VA does that after examining him. They set the value mark, and it will be done in percentages (%). 10% disabled, etc. Actually, benefits are derived based on the character of the veterans discharge. Once a year the Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) publishes a booklet that describes (generally) all the veterans benefits. If a veteran has an honorable discharge, he/she is eligible for all (should he/she meet the requirments). If he/she has a general discharge, the veteran is not eligible for education benefits (GI Bill). If the Veteran has an "other than honorable" discharge, it is up to the DVA to determine if he/she will be paid for compensation for service connected disabilities and will determine if the other benefits will be paid out as well. If the veteran has a Bad Conduct Discharge (BCD), he/she can be buried in a Veteran Cemetary but isn't eligible for much else. A dishonorable discharge excludes the veteran from all benefits. It is a misconception that if you get less than an honorable discharge that your whole time in the service is characterized by the listed character of discharge. An example would be: Let's say an individual was selling drugs and was given a BCD discharge. It was determined by the evidence he was selling in the last six months of his/her service. If he/she had served three years prior to that, that service is considered honorable. The Veteran needs to apply for benefits for that three year period which is deemed HONORABLE, thus all benefits would apply.

Where do you look for a Veteran's service ID?
Easiest (and quickest) are on a Discharge, identification badge ("dog tags"); if veteran belonged to a American Legion or VFW post, they would have probably provided to the post a copy of the Discharge. If the veteran ever bought a home through the VA, they would have a copy. Also, veterans were usually told to file a copy of discharge with County Clerks Office. And if a homeowner, governments usually give a tax break to veterans- check with your local property tax office.
