VA Benefits for 100 Percent Disabled Veterans
Monetary Benefits
Georgia veteran disability benefits include a monthly monetary benefit. Any disabled veteran with a VA disability rating of at least 10% can receive monetary benefits. However, the benefits vary significantly based on the disability rating. In 2025, a 100% disabled veteran in Georgia is eligible for a base monthly benefit of $3,831.30. That is significantly higher than the monthly benefit at lower levels. If the veteran has eligible dependents, the monthly benefit is increased slightly for each dependent.
The amount of monthly benefits a veteran receives is adjusted annually to account for changes in the cost of living.
Healthcare Benefits
When you have a disabling condition resulting from military service, you will need various healthcare services. For example, you might require frequent physical therapy to keep your body active. In addition, if your disability is a mental health issue, you must take medication to alleviate some symptoms. While all disabled veterans are entitled to healthcare services for their service-connected conditions, veterans with higher disability ratings have access to a wider range of medical services.
Having a 100% disability rating in Georgia qualifies you for Health Care Priority Group 1. This category allows you to enjoy various healthcare benefits. For example, you can receive preventative and primary care at no cost at VA facilities. You will also receive prescription drug coverage, and travel allowances if needed to attend VA or VA-authorized medical appointments. In addition, under certain conditions, you may also get emergency services at non-VA facilities at no charge.
The healthcare benefit will also cover purchases of medication and assistive devices such as:
- Hearing aids
- Crutches
- Wheelchairs
- Prosthetics
A 100% VA disability rating could make it challenging to look after yourself. As a result, you may need to hire a caregiver to help you with daily activities and attending doctor’s appointments. The VA healthcare benefit covers the cost of hiring a licensed caregiver in Georgia.
Other items the healthcare benefit will cover include:
- Nursing home residence
- Mental health treatment
- Geriatric care
- Specialty care

Grants for Specially Adapted Houses
Disabilities—especially those affecting your spine—can lead to paralysis. In addition, some injuries caused by military service may also necessitate amputation.
VA provides house grants to veterans with a 100% disability rating in Georgia. With these funds, you can buy a home specially made for people with limited mobility. Alternatively, you could renovate your current residence to make it disabled-friendly.
Some changes you can make include:
- Installing a stairlift
- Installing a ramp
- Getting adjustable countertops
- Replacing doorknobs with lever handles
- Widening doorways
- Fixing a shower seat
The actual renovations you need will depend on the nature of your condition. For example, if you have schizophrenia, you might not require devices to help with movement. Instead, you will need to make your home safer and install fixtures to prevent self-harm.
