What type of benefits does 100 % VA disability get you per state (e.g. free license plate registration, national park pass, etc.)?

Some states also waive property tax for total disability.

NC you can get some property tax relief,a disability luv plate but you pay for it. As long as your a vet you can get a national park free pass. If your a retired or disabled vet you can stay at any base across the USA for a reduced rate.
There are lots of little perks like this you just have to inquire.

What state are you concerned about? There are 50 variations of benefits.
Here in FL the bennies are not bad. Free disabled vet plates that exempt you from parking fees and free drivers licenses for life are a couple. DOD-wise, you can use the PX/Commisary and stay on base in most military RV parks. Print your letter off of eBenefits.

Here is a link to a state-by-state list of benefits from Military.com. I haven't looked at too many of the states but Texas seems accurate. http://www.military.com/benefits/veteran-state-benefits/state-veterans-benefits-directory.html

Yup, varies by state. Here in Idaho, your MIL retirement doesn't get hit with income tax if you are 10% or greater. Doesn't take much. States tend to have a cut point for things like parks, cheap hunting licenses etc. WA wants you to be at 50% or better, ID 40%. It really varies. BTW I never cared to have any special license plate but would reconsider if there was a "Seabee" emblem one.

Thank You , I'm new at finding these benefits that why I ask .. and if I do find something you never know things change all the time. I find word of month is the best way to finding out if I might missed something
