If you bought your house with a VA backed loan, you can get all of you funding fee back either in cash or credited as a payment on your loan (depending on wheither you financed the funding fee or paid it out of your pocket), if you meet the following; Your claim for service connection must pre-date house loan closing date, You paid the funding fee, Your SC claim was granted after you had paid the funding fee, Your SC award is retroed back to a date before the date the home loan closed.

I really don't know if this is just general knowledge I didn't know about BUT I thought I should share it anyway As a disabled vet with a MWR (ID) Card you have access to legal (JAG) on any base in the world (depending on space avilable). We just recently found this out at our local airforce base. We didn't ask we just made an appointment and they agreed to see us.

This letter shows your service history and some VA benefits information. You can customize this letter and use it for many things, including to apply for housing assistance, civil service jobs, and state or local property and "car tax relief". OK, I knew about the property tax exemption when buying a home, but I never heard of any tax relief if a veteran buys a car. I found this when I was trying to check on letter generation on VA.gov.
