7 Secret Benefits for 100% Disabled Veterans in 2021 - YouTube

There are some crazy additional benefits for  100% disabled veterans! When my husband received  
[6]
his 100% rating, I was thrilled to discover  all of the amazing things we qualified for.  
[14]
In this video, I’m going to  share seven of my favorites.
[24]
1st, free lifetime vehicle  registration in some states!
[30]
When my husband first received his  rating, we lived in Washington state.  
[34]
I was so excited to learn that we were now  eligible for free lifetime vehicle registration!  
[42]
We were given permanent registration tags for one  vehicle, and we never had to renew it. Of course,  
[48]
we moved out of state and ruined that…  but it was great while it lasted!
[54]
Many states offer discounts on  vehicle registration for veterans,  
[59]
usually those with a 100% rating and sometimes  
[62]
those with a 25-50% rating as well. We  have a full list at LowIncomeRelief.com.

[72]
2nd, National and State Parks pass discounts.
[76]
Our family loves to take road trips, so we  have really enjoyed the ability to get free  
[82]
and discounted park passes. We have a free  lifetime Access Pass to the national parks,  
[88]
as well as free state parks  passes in at least five states.  
[93]
These passes have unlocked a  lot of adventure for our family!
[117]
3rd, base access and discounted Disney tickets!
[122]
Base access is one of my favorite additional  benefits for 100% disabled veterans. This  
[128]
includes access to the exchange, commissary  and MWR facilities. We’ve been able to pick up  
[135]
ridiculously low-priced tickets to Disneyland  and Disney World through these programs.  
[142]
Those created some absolutely  unforgettable memories for our children!
[148]
4th, automatic student loan forgiveness.
[155]
I was shocked when I realized that my  husband’s rating also meant that his  
[162]
student loans would be completely forgiven.  Over $50,000 in debt was wiped away in  
[170]
an instant! When my husband’s rating came  in, we had to fill out paperwork for this…  
[175]
but it’s now a completely automatic process  for veterans who have received 100% ratings.
[183]
5th, property tax exemptions.
[186]
It may not sound exciting, but this can  make a huge difference in the amount of your  
[193]
mortgage! When we received our property tax  exemption, our monthly mortgage payment was  
[199]
reduced by about $200! That’s actually  very significant, and it adds up quickly.
[208]
Many states have property tax exemptions for  
[210]
disabled veterans and even non-veteran  seniors and disabled people! To learn

[223]
6th, health care for your dependents.
[226]
Along with your newly improved compensation,  veterans who receive a 100% rating from the VA  
[233]
can also receive free health care for their  dependents. This program is tremendously helpful  
[239]
to our family, especially since I am self-employed  and don’t have health care through any employer.
[247]
7th, education benefits for your dependents.
[251]
Your new VA rating also means that your dependents  may be eligible for Dependents Educational  
[257]
Assistance, or DEA. This program provides up to 36  months of assistance toward a degree, certificate  
[266]
program, apprenticeship, or on-the-job training.  The dependent will receive a monthly check  
[273]
for each month that they are eligible and, as of  October 2021, the maximum monthly rate is $1,298.
