No, your VA Disability Benefits are not taxable income. The following is taken directly from the IRS website IRS Information for Veterans:

"VA Disability Benefits
Do not include disability benefits you receive from the VA in your gross income. In particular some of the payments which are considered disability benefits include:

  • Disability compensation and pension payments for disabilities paid either to Veterans or their families,
  • Grants for homes designed for wheelchair living,
  • Grants for motor vehicles for Veterans who lost their sight or the use of their limbs, or
  • Benefits under a dependent-care assistance program."

Additionally, education and training benefits provided to veterans under the GI Bill are not taxable income.
