VETERANS BENEFITS

In fiscal year 2009, more than 2,000 military veterans with ALS, their families and survivors were awarded benefits totaling over $129 million! These benefits include monthly disability compensation, adaptive housing grants, aid and attendant benefits, and full health care and are the result of historic regulations The Association helped to champion that establish ALS as a service connected disease. The regulations do not expire so benefits will continue to be available to veterans with ALS and their survivors regardless of the date of diagnosis or death.
