Why do you think you need to amend a tax return for the Veterans Administration disability payments you received?  VA disability payments are not reported on a tax return.

 

Or are you referring to this - 

Disabled veterans may be eligible to claim a federal tax refund based on:

  • an increase in the veteran's percentage of disability from the Department of Veterans Affairs (which may include a retroactive determination) or
  • the combat-disabled veteran applying for, and being granted, Combat-Related Special Compensation, after an award for Concurrent Retirement and Disability.
