1. What is the Days Alive Calculator?

The Days Alive Calculator calculates the exact number of days a disabled veteran has been alive based on their birth date and a specified current date. This calculation can be important for various veteran benefits and record-keeping purposes.

The calculator uses a simple date difference calculation:

\[ Days\ Alive = Current\ Date - Birth\ Date \]
