VA Disability Compensation for Illinois Veterans
Tax-free monthly payments for Illinois veterans with service-connected conditions. File or check a claim online, by phone, or with free help from an accredited Veterans Service Officer.
Eligibility
Veterans with a current physical or mental health condition that was caused or made worse by active-duty service, and a discharge that was not dishonorable. Certain conditions — including many covered by the PACT Act — are presumed service-connected, so no proof of the service link is needed.
