The Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA) under the US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) provides a wide variety of benefits to retired or separated United States armed forces personnel and their dependents or survivors.[1] Through the VA, Veterans can receive educational assistance (GI Bill), healthcare, assisted living,[2] home loans, insurance, and burial and memorial services. The VA also provides compensation to disabled veterans[3] who suffer from a medical disorder or injury that was incurred in, or aggravated by, their military service, and which causes social and occupational impairment.[4] Many U.S. states also offer disability benefits for veterans.[5]
