Disability Benefits
Non-Compensable 0% Rating

Disability benefits rating goes from 0% to 100%. However, financial compensation starts from 10% and higher. If you’re rated at under 50% you do not get a separate check. Instead, the income is used to reduce your other taxable income. Only those rated at 50% or higher gets a separate check. However, there are many benefits that starts with a 0% rating and goes through to a 100% rating.

These are the benefits for a Non-Compensable 0% rating.

A non-compensable 0% VA disability rating means the VA recognizes a service-connected condition, but it’s not severe enough to warrant monthly cash benefits, but may be eligible for other benefits.
