What benefits do I get at 0% VA disability rating?

A 0% rating still unlocks access to VA healthcare (priority group 7/8), the ability to get future conditions service-connected, and in many states, property tax exemptions and recreation license discounts. The rating isn't your paycheck — it's your foot in the door.
