Who Eligible for Military Veterans Benefits

To qualify for veterans benefits, applicants must meet the veteran's definition, active duty requirements, and have a discharge other than dishonorable. Reserve and Guard members are generally not eligible, except under specific circumstances. Service-connected disabilities cannot result from willful misconduct, and pensions are not available. 

What does it means to be a Veteran?

A veteran is a person who served in the active military, naval, or air service and was discharged or released under conditions other than dishonorable. National Guard and Reserve members are not considered veterans unless they were called up to active duty by the President of the United States and served the appropriate length of time to receive an award for a benefit. Disability Compensation and Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC) are available to reserve and guard members who were not on active duty but sustained injury and certain medical conditions from active duty for training and injury from inactive duty for training. As of 2016, a federal law allows Reserve and Guard members who have completed 20 years or more of service to also be considered veterans and receive veterans benefits. In June 2015, Congress authorized approximately 2,000 National Guard flight crews assigned to C123 aircraft used to disperse Agent Orange in Vietnam to be eligible for Disability Compensation benefits.
