Requirements Before You Can Start Reaping Military Benefits

People who have suffered from disabilities and injuries during their time of duty in their respective professions could always turn to the Social Security Administration, but for the people who have served our country in the military, turn to the Department of Veteran's Affairs.

These people from the different agencies of the military like the Army, Air Force, Marines, Navy, and Coast Guard could avail $100 per month to a whopping $3100 per month depending on the kind of service they have served and all the sufferings they got from it.

Usually if you get injured during your time of duty or job, the agency to turn to would be the Social Security Administration, but if you're a member of the Army, Marines, Navy, Coast Guard, and Air Force, the agency to turn to would be the Department of Veteran's Affairs.

Serving our country in the military could entail risking their lives, and if not, paralysis, loss of limbs and extremities, vision and memory problems, and damage to motor skills, just to name a few.

It's just obvious that they should reap some benefits or even just help from the government in maintaining their daily living and family, but there are also a lot of problems that go with it. The application process could be very confusing.

With a lost leg, it could mean that you wouldn't be able to function and work for yourself anymore. Getting blind would mean having someone always with you just to get along with your everyday life. Getting paralyzed means you wouldn't be able to do anything by yourself anymore, all you could do is entrust everything to a loved one.

In the end, no matter how much you receive from the Department of Veteran's Affairs, it still wouldn't heal the wounds that you have gotten from the war, it still wouldn't sufficiently replace all the emotional trauma you went through, and lastly a $3100 check wouldn't amount close to replacing the money you still can earn if you weren't paralyzed, or have gotten blind.

Nothing could ever replace the dedication you have given in serving the country with your life, all of these benefits are but a little thank you fee.
