The Reality
Why VA Benefits Matter More Than Ever
Tax-Free Monthly Income
VA disability compensation is 100% tax-free. That's money that goes directly into your pocket — no federal or state taxes. For union members already earning good wages, this stacks on top.
VA Benefits Don't Affect Union Benefits
Your VA disability rating does not reduce your union pension, healthcare, or other member benefits. These are separate systems. You can and should collect both.
VA 2026 Changes Are Coming
Proposed changes to VA eligibility and compensation schedules could affect millions of veterans. Now is the time to file, before rules tighten. Don't wait.
Union Jobs Create Service-Connected Conditions
Decades of service — both military and union — compound physical and mental health conditions. Many union veterans qualify for more than they realize.
