Authors: St Jalisa E.Miller and Christine Scott, Domestic Social Policy Division; Carol D. Davis, Knowledge Services Group 
Abstract: The VA provides a range of benefits for veterans who meet certain eligibility criteria. However, certain benefits have specifically been created to assist disabled veterans. Among them are disability compensation, the vocational rehabilitation and employment program, automobile and special adaptive equipment grants, clothing allowances grants, adapted housing grants, and service-disabled veterans' insurance. This report provides information on these benefits, including eligibility, legislative history, and the application process. The appendix to this report provides a table with the number of beneficiaries and FY2007 outlays (spending) for each of the benefits discussed in this report.
