in plain englishAI-generated · not legal advice

During a period of war, the United States pays compensation to a qualifying veteran for a disability caused or worsened by an injury or disease incurred in active military, naval, air, or space service. No payment is made when the disability resulted from the veteran’s willful misconduct or alcohol or drug abuse.

For a disability caused by an injury or disease incurred in the line of duty, or by worsening a preexisting injury or disease in the line of duty, during active military, naval, air, or space service in a period of war, the United States will pay compensation under this subchapter to a veteran who is disabled and was discharged or released under conditions other than dishonorable from the service period in which the injury or disease occurred or the preexisting condition worsened. No compensation is paid if the disability resulted from the veteran’s own willful misconduct or abuse of alcohol or drugs.
