Massachusetts benefits at your rating
Massachusetts has a Veterans Services Officer in every city and town. Big wins: needs-based Chapter 115 financial and medical aid, a state tuition waiver for all MA veterans at public colleges, and property tax relief from fixed dollar-amount exemptions at 10%+ service-connected disability up to a FULL exemption for paraplegic veterans or veterans 100% disabled from service-connected blindness. The HERO Act raised the disabled veteran annuity to $2,500 and lets towns raise the Clause 22 exemptions by local option. Call your city or town Veterans Services Officer or the Executive Office of Veterans Services for help applying.
