Do you have a disability related to your military service that prevents you from driving? If you do, you may be able to get disability compensation or benefits.
Am I eligible for disability benefits from VA?
You may be eligible for disability benefits if you have a disability that’s related to your service (called a service-connected disability) and that includes at least one of these conditions.
At least one of these must be true for you:
You have loss, or permanent loss of use, of 1 or both feet, or
You have loss, or permanent loss of use, of 1 or both hands, or
You have permanent decreased vision in both eyes: 20/200 vision or less in your better eye with glasses, or greater than 20/200 vision but with a visual field defect that has reduced your peripheral vision to 20 degrees or less in your better eye, or
You have a severe burn injury, or
You have amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), or
