The Department of Defense (DoD) and the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) both provide disability benefits to military service members and veterans, but they do so for different reasons and under different systems.
DoD Disability, also called Permanent Disability Retirement (PDR) or Temporary Disability Retirement (TDR) focuses on assessing whether a service member’s medical condition prevents them from performing military duties, providing benefits like retirement or separation based on fitness for service.
VA Disability, on the other hand, is intended to make up for the potential economic loss of civilian wages or loss of civilian working time because of service-connected disability conditions. Congress requires the VA to base its rating schedule, “as far as practicable, upon the average impairments of earning capacity” in “civil occupations” that a veteran will experience due to the disability in question. See 38 U.S.C. 1155.
Understanding the distinctions between DoD disability and VA disability is crucial for military members and veterans to get the benefits they deserve.
