Primary sources: 38 CFR Part 4, Oregon Department of Veterans’ Affairs
Federal VA disability compensation amounts are set by Congress and are the same in every state. Oregon publishes additional programs that may supplement what eligible veterans receive from the federal government. Verify current rules with the Oregon Department of Veterans’ Affairs before relying on this page for filing decisions.
Federal disability compensation (same in every state)
The VA may rate service-connected disabilities under 38 CFR Part 4 and pay monthly compensation under 38 U.S.C. § 1110 (wartime) or § 1131 (peacetime). The combined-rating estimator computes an estimated monthly amount under 38 CFR § 4.25 if you have one or more rated conditions.
