Delaware benefits at your rating
Delaware wipes out 100% of the school district property tax for veterans with a 100% total and permanent service-connected rating (or individual unemployability paid at 100%), after three years of residency. Military retirees exclude $12,500 of retired pay, and SBP survivors 60+ exclude $12,500 too. Delaware has no sales tax at all. Guard members get up to 100% tuition at state schools. Veterans get 5 or 10 points on state hiring; disabled veterans with 60%+ ratings get free hunting/fishing/trapping licenses. The state pays a $3,000 annual pension to paraplegic wartime veterans. One veterans home (Milford, 144 beds) and two state veterans cemeteries serve residents.
All 10 categories are listed for 0% combined, rating status Unselected. A program that needs a higher rating stays in its category. Study-list confidence marker: High.
