Who Is Eligible for VA Disability Benefits?

Veterans may qualify for monthly VA disability compensation if they:

  • Have a current physical or mental health diagnosis

  • Provide documentation proving a service-related “nexus”
  • Can connect that condition to an in-service event, injury, or illness

Even if your condition began before service but was aggravated while serving, you may still be eligible.

About Chase Villeret

Chase Villeret is a Louisiana workers' compensation, personal injury, and veterans' disability attorney with over a decade of experience representing injured workers and accident victims across Southeast Louisiana. He founded Villeret Law Firm in Madisonville and personally handles every case the firm takes on.

Chase grew up in a blue-collar family in Louisiana's River Parishes. He earned a Master of Public Health and a law degree from LSU. That combination of public health training and legal practice shapes how he approaches injury and disability cases: he understands both the medical side of an injury and the legal fight it takes to get someone's benefits paid.

In 2026, Chase served as lead counsel in Cousain v. Smitty's Supply, Inc., a case he argued and won before the Louisiana Supreme Court. The ruling settled a 20-year split among Louisiana's appellate courts over how the state's workers' compensation fraud forfeiture statute applies, and it now protects injured workers statewide from losing benefits they'd already earned. He is recognized as a Top 25 Workers' Compensation Trial Lawyer by the Workers' Compensation Trial Lawyers Association and was named Top 40 Under 40 by the National Trial Lawyers. Chase also serves as President of the Northlake-Mandeville Rotary Club.

He represents clients across Madisonville, Mandeville, Covington, Slidell, Hammond, New Orleans, Metairie, and throughout Louisiana.
