Compensation
Veterans and their families could be eligible for compensation from the government for injuries sustained during their military. These benefits could come in the form of a disability or pension payment.

But, there are some limitations on this kind of garnishment. First, a court petition must be filed for the apportionment. Then only a certain percentage, usually between 20 and 50 percent of the monthly amount can be garnished.
Another thing to keep in mind is that the compensation is based on a percentage of the disabled veteran's condition and not on actual earnings from an employment. This means that the higher a veteran's disability rating is, the more they be compensated. Surviving spouses and children of disabled veterans who die due to service-related illness or injuries are eligible for a particular benefit known as Dependency Indemnity Compensation (DIC).
There are many misconceptions regarding the impact of veterans' pension benefits and veterans disability disability benefits, as well as other compensations provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs on money issues during divorce. These misconceptions can cause divorces to be even more difficult for veterans and their families.
Pension
Veterans Disability Pension is a tax-free financial benefit that provides veterans with disabilities incurred or aggravated through military service. It is also available to surviving spouses and dependent children. The pension rate is determined by Congress and is determined by the amount of disability, the extent of disability, as well as whether there are dependents. The VA has specific regulations on the way assets are calculated to determine eligibility for the pension benefit. Generally, the veteran's home personal effects, personal belongings and a vehicle are excluded, whereas the remaining assets of the veteran that are not exempt must be less than $80,000 to demonstrate financial need.
It is widely believed that the courts can garnish VA disability payments to satisfy court-ordered child support or obligations to maintain spousal support. It is important to note that this is not the case.

This does not apply to CRSC and TDSC since these programs were specifically designed to provide a greater level of income for disabled veterans. It is also important to note that an individual's personal injury settlement could affect their eligibility for aid and attendance.
SSI
If a veteran is not earning earned income and has permanent disabilities they could be eligible for Supplemental Security Income (SSI). This program is based on the need. A person must have low income and assets to be eligible for SSI. Certain people could also be eligible for an VA monthly pension. The amount depends on their service and wartime period as well as disability rating.
Most veterans do not qualify for both pension and compensation benefits simultaneously. If a person is a recipient of an income pension and receives disability payments from the VA then the VA will not pay an income supplement to that person.
The VA has to report to the Social Security Administration your monthly military retirement, CRDP, or CRSC. This will nearly always increase your SSI benefit. The SSA can also determine your SSI income using the VA waiver benefits.
If a veteran is ordered to pay support pursuant to an order from a judge the court may send the order directly to VA to levy the military retirement. This could be the case in divorce cases where the retired person waives their military retirement pay in exchange for VA disability benefits.

You can also keep up to $1,500 in cash or the face value of an insurance policy for life.
In a divorce the judge can decide that the veteran's VA disability benefits can be considered to be income for purposes of formulating post-divorce child care and maintenance. The reason is that a number of court cases have confirmed the rights of family courts in using these payments to calculate support. These include decisions from Florida (Allen v. Allen), Mississippi (Steiner v. Steiner), and Wisconsin (In Re the marriage of Wojcik).
The amount of VA disability compensation is contingent upon the degree of the service-connected condition. It is calculated based on an index that evaluates the severity of the condition. It can range from 10 percent to 100 percent and higher scores bringing the most money. It is also possible for veterans to receive additional compensation for aid and attendance expenses, or a special monthly payments, which are not based upon a schedule but upon the degree of the disability.
