Service-disabled veterans may be entitled to the following little-known allowances in addition to their monthly VA compensation payment:
Automobile Allowance: Veterans and active service members may be eligible for a one-time payment of not more than $19,505 toward the purchase of an automobile or other conveyance if they have service-connected loss or permanent loss of use of one or both hands or feet or permanent impairment of vision of both eyes to a certain degree.  The allowance is paid directly to the seller of the automobile, and the veteran or service member may only receive this benefit once in his/her lifetime.  They may also be eligible for adaptive equipment and for the repair, replacement or reinstallation required because of disability or for the safe operation of a vehicle purchased with VA assistance. 

Clothing Allowance: Any veteran who has service-connected disabilities that require a prosthetic or orthopedic appliance may receive clothing allowance. This annual allowance is also available to any veteran whose service-connected skin condition requires prescribed medication that irreparably damages outer garments. 

Allowance for Aid and Attendance or Housebound Veterans:  A service-connected veteran who is determined by VA to be in need of the regular aid and attendance of another person or a veteran who is permanently housebound, may be entitled to additional disability compensation or pension payments. A service-connected veteran evaluated at 30 percent or more is entitled to receive an additional payment for a spouse who is in need of the aid and attendance of another person.

For more information, contact the Oneida County Veterans Service Office at the number below. 

If you would like to receive emails about veterans’ benefits from the Oneida County Veterans Service Office, please send your email address to Tammy at the address below.
