Cool New CAP Website Activated

The Department of Defense has activated a new Website which provides assistive technology accommodations to persons with disabilities within the DoD and other federal agencies. The site features an enhanced online accommodation process, a better assistive technology section, and an improved virtual CAP Technical Center (CAPTEC) tour -- to assist individuals in selecting the most appropriate and reasonable accommodations. The Defense Department established the Computer/Electronic Accommodations Program in 1990 to eliminate employment barriers for people with visual, hearing, dexterity and cognitive disabilities. Since its inception, CAP has funded and provided more than 30,000 accommodation solutions to about 50 Federal agencies.

The new Website can be found here. For more on disability compensation, see the Disability Compensation Overview.

This is what the second link stated.....

I tried the first link and it worked for me....I don't understand....





Nature of Benefit

Disability compensation consists of a monthly payment by the VA to a veteran for a service-connected disability. The payments are made for disabilities on a scale of 10 percent to 100 percent.

Certain serious disabilities are given special monthly rates. When the extent of disability falls between two such groups, an intermediate rate may be awarded.

The current nontaxable minimum compensation is $98 per month and the maximum is currently $2,036 per month. The Federal Government does not count compensation from the VA as taxable income. Social Security payments do not affect VA compensation.

Basis of Eligibility

Disability must result from disease or injury incurred in or aggravated during active duty or active duty for training. Benefits may also be paid for injury sustained during inactive duty for training. In all cases, the disability must have occurred in the line of duty, and discharge or release from duty must have been under other than dishonorable conditions.
