- You apply within 2 years from the date VA grants your new service-connected disability, or by December 31, 2022, whichever occurs first.
On January 1, 2023, a new program of insurance, VALife, also known as, Veterans’ Affairs Life Insurance will open to new applicants. VALife is guaranteed acceptance whole life insurance available to all Veterans aged 80 and under who have a VA disability rating of zero to 100 percent with no time limit to apply. Veterans who are 81 or older and apply for VA Disability Compensation before age 81 and receive a rating for a new service-connected condition after turning 81 are also eligible if they apply within two years of receiving their rating. Veterans do not have to meet any health requirements to obtain coverage and once coverage is effective, premiums will never increase. Veterans must wait two years from the effective date of the coverage for their beneficiary to receive the full value of the coverage upon their death.
