top of page How long do I have to apply for Service-Disabled Veterans Insurance?
You have two years from the date you are notified that you have a NEW service-connected disability. You do not get an additional eligibility period if you are granted an increase in your current disability. Once you have a policy and are notified of your entitlement to waiver of premiums because of total disability, you have one year to apply for the supplemental $20,000 in coverage.
