The C&P (Compensation and Pension) Program is designed to provide financial support and medical benefits to veterans who have service-connected disabilities. This program is administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and plays a crucial role in helping veterans receive the care and compensation they deserve.

The program offers two main categories of benefits: compensation and pension. These benefits are determined based on the severity of the veteran’s disability and their income level, respectively. Below is an overview of both types of assistance:

  • Compensation: Monthly payments made to veterans who are injured or become ill due to their military service.
  • Pension: Financial support for low-income veterans who served during wartime but are not receiving compensation for service-related disabilities.

Additionally, veterans may qualify for various other support services, including healthcare, rehabilitation, and education programs, based on their eligibility and specific circumstances.

"The C&P Program is essential for ensuring veterans receive the financial and medical support they need to live healthy, productive lives."

The eligibility criteria and application process for the C&P Program vary depending on several factors, such as service record, medical history, and income. Veterans are encouraged to consult with the VA to determine their specific eligibility and benefits.

Benefit Type Eligibility Criteria Monthly Payment
Compensation Veterans with service-connected disabilities Based on disability rating
Pension Low-income wartime veterans Based on financial need
