I *think* they mean traditional VA disability rating payments. Other VA bennies (which every vet is entitled to) are probably not what they're looking for.
I would think a 0% rating would not trigger the benefits question 18(y), but you probably should have reported the original condition which led to a residual 0% rating to the FAA. The 8500 questions all start with "Have you ever..." If you have a 0%, then yes you have at one time.
