Pennsylvania benefits at your rating
Pennsylvania's constitution exempts veterans with a 100% permanent service-connected (SC) disability (or who are blind, paraplegic, or double/quadruple amputees from service) from all real estate taxes on their home - but only after the State Veterans' Commission finds financial need. Veterans with 100% SC disability also get free vehicle registration, free hunting and fishing licenses, and 10 bonus points on state civil service exams. Children ages 16 to 23 of 100% permanently and totally (P&T) wartime-disabled or deceased veterans get a $500-per-semester educational gratuity. Six state veterans homes and the Military Family Relief Assistance Program round out the package. For help, contact the Pennsylvania Department of Military and Veterans Affairs (DMVA) or your county veterans affairs office.
