“Compensation & Pension”
“Compensation” and “pension” - two important words for veterans and their dependents -• are often used interchangeably by the public, but their meanings are vastly different, the Veterans Administration reminds.
“ Compensation” is payment the Veterans Administration makes because of a disability due to injury or disease a man suffered in military service. The payment may go to a veteran or to his survivors.
A veteran’s financial condition is not taken into consideration in; cases of compensation payment.
“Pension,” on the other hand, is paid on a basis of need. The income of the recipient has a direct bearing , on the amount of the pension.
Information concerning either benefit is available by mail, phone, or personal inquiry at any local office of the Virginia Division of War Veterans’ Claims.
