My injuries added up to 230% (100% max). Two years and three months in the VA. I'll never forget the doctors and nurses that put up with my sh*t. I was mad at the world. They got me through some dark times. Thanks for helping out my brothers and sisters that served and sacrificed. Cheers.

If you're 100%, like me, then you're eligible for a military ID that will get you onto any and all US military bases and all Exchanges and Commissaries. You can shop at ALL of them.

Thank you ladies. I never knew that the spouse of a 100% disabled veteran had any benefits at all. You are much appreciated.

Hello, I recently went from 70% to 100% and I was told that the VA did not do such a thing. I was told that by a Veteran rep and the VA person I was seen by regarding my claim for increase. I was blown away! It just goes to show that not everything that you are told turns out to be so. I encourage other Vets to file for any claim they feel that they may be granted, you just never know. Thank you folks for the video and for the great advice and info that you give to us Vets. You are appreciated. Peace.

In Texas, I was told, the last time I got my id card, that any veteran with an honorable discharge can get an id card for on-post privileges (commissary, px, recreational facilities) now.

In Oklahoma, we also get lifetime hunting & fishing licenses.

I tell Vets all the time to use you since you got my 100% rating. I think you did a great job with my case and want to help other vets.

I live in Virginia, the VA rated me 100%. This is what I got from the state: property tax (house) = 100% tax free. Prorated from the point where I earned the 100% to the present. Car tax was also 100% but was not prorated only from the point of filing.

Your web site helped me navigate the va system and made filing my claims much much easier. Within a year I went from 0 to 100 p&t

Am 80/20 an unemployable all everything inclusive however it took 10 years of being homeless to finally to get a thorough diagnosis an a advocate the best thing to do is don’t give up and use DAV as your advocate!! They also helped me with my SSI !! Everything I have is based on 100% disability but am far from unable!!

I have early onset neuropathy in both feet and calves, type 2 diabetes, just diagnosed with Parkinson’s, also sleep apnea. Tinnitus both ears. I am a Ft McClellan veteran, blood poisoning, there’s more but I won’t go into all of that here. I was there 1977 last of the non OSUT troops. It’s been 4+ years I got 10% for plantar fasciitis that’s it. My DAV officer said we were drinking 111 triclorathane from the ammunition plant north of the base.

My son is a disabled adult child..His father is 100% disabled and on SSD..I submitted an apportionment and hapless child claim.The veteran was in arrears and not paying, The VA paid the veteran the helpless child benefit.( despite me informing) the veteran had NO contact..He received a lump sum for 13 months and an additional 20 months. He was being paid $5800:a month. All the time I supported our son.. All my claims were denied despite him not paying child support and arrears. Hen has put me In financial ruins, .

[marsorozco]

I want to make sure that veterans at 100% due to non employment are also available.
I have additional issues that would easily put me at the 100%. I need to look into this. I live in Colorado Springs and wondering if I need to go to Denver to get this updated. If anyone knows please comment. Thanks!!

you forgot to mention you can get your Service-Disabled Veterans Life Insurance premiums waved. I think they changed it to VALife now. you get dental and vision visits every year at the VA hospital which includes frames of choice. a Veterans Pension is available for P&T. there's a few others like Chapter 31 and 35 for dependents.

[stevenhetletvedt]

I am 100% and it takes forever to get any authorization to get approved to get any medical care.

An Honorably Discharged Veteran with a Military Star card can not only get on a Military base, but can use it to go to a Commissary, or B.X.!
