New Mexico benefits at your rating

The three biggest wins: the new lifetime free State Parks pass (day-use plus camping), the Wartime/Vietnam Veteran Scholarships covering tuition and books, and free lifetime hunting/fishing for 100%-rated disabled veterans. Call the NM Department of Veterans Services at 1-866-433-8387 or your county veterans office for help applying.
