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.

Should be noted that base lodging is only for P&T. If you are 100% but not P&T, that won't apply. Just saying that in general, obviously the letter posted here is a case of P&T.

Some states also waive property tax for total disability.

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

Texas has more than what is listed. Total Exemption from property tax for 100%. 3 dollar fee for license plate (DV over 50%) Free airport and government (meaning city streets) metered parking with DV plate.

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

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.

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.

Got this from google.

Of course you know if you're military retired you get all of your retired pay w no VA offset, and if your 100% is combat related, your Ret pay is non taxable too under CRSC, assuming you apply to your branch.

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
