If a veteran with an impairment receives an award or settlement against the party responsible for their injuries and also has a VA disability claim in the same year, then the amount of that settlement or award could be taken out of the VA payments. This type of garnishment is subject to certain restrictions. First, the court must have filed a petition for the apportionment of the disability compensation. Only a small portion of between 20% and 50%, of the monthly compensation could be garnished.
It is important to note that compensation is not based on the actual earnings of a veteran instead, it is based on a percentage.

However the remaining assets that are not exempted by the veteran must not exceed $80.000 to demonstrate financial need.
