All Content Serves Educational Purposes

Every resource, tool, article, and calculator on VA Disability Hub is designed for educational purposes only:

  • Not official VA guidance: Our content does not replace official VA publications, regulations, or directives
  • Not legal advice: Information provided should not be considered legal advice or substitute for consultation with a qualified attorney
  • Not medical advice: Health-related information is educational only and should not replace professional medical consultation

Information Accuracy and Currency

VA Policies and Benefits Change Regularly

While we make every effort to provide accurate and current information:

  • Frequent changes: VA benefits, policies, and procedures change regularly through new laws, regulations, and administrative decisions
  • Update delays: There may be delays between official VA policy changes and updates to our educational content
  • Regional variations: Some benefits and procedures vary by VA regional office
  • Individual circumstances: Every veteran's situation is unique and may not perfectly match general information

Always verify current program details and eligibility requirements through official VA channels before making important decisions.

Benefits Calculator and Rating Estimates

Critical: Estimates Are Not Predictions

Our Benefits Calculator and disability rating estimation tools:

  • Provide estimates only: Results are educational approximations to help you understand the rating process
  • Are not guarantees: Estimates do not predict actual VA rating decisions or benefit amounts
  • Cannot replace VA evaluation: Only VA can determine official disability ratings based on medical evidence and examinations
  • Depend on accurate input: Calculator accuracy depends entirely on information you provide
  • May not reflect individual cases: Medical conditions, service connection, and rating criteria vary significantly
