If you are a TX vet with a disability rating of 80% or higher there are some benefits that the State of Texas offers. Here they are:

Free driver's license.
License plates for one vehicle for $3.00.
Free admission to State Parks.
If you have the disability parking tag or wheel chair license plates, no fee at any parking meter.
The disabled plates and tags will also get you free long term parking at the airports in TX.

I don't know if the same benefits apply in other states.

The county just sent me a form to fill out for real estate tax assistance. I am not sure how much it will save or if it is a cap on the tax amount. I will get back to you all on that one after I understand it better.

I found out today that the new benefit in the State of Texas is that if you are a service connected disabled veteran with 100% rating permanent and total OR are being paid 100% due to unemployability, you pay NO homeowners' taxes. That right ladies! Your disability rating can remove all property taxes for your self-occupied home forever in the State of Texas.

They did that here in Wisconsin too, however; like my husband said, then you can't claim it on your Federal return. Course if you just have none reported income this is a good thing!!!
