Federal And State Benefits For Sc Veterans


Recommended Posts

I'm looking for the link (I know I've seen one, but can't find it) that lists all of the State and Federal benefits a sc Veteran is entitled to

by the percentage they are sc with....ie: 0 cost for meds at 50% sc, etc.

Can someone point me in the right direction to find it?

This is probably a question that is asked often, please accept my apology in advance for not being able to find it.

Thank you very much,

VetsLady

Thank you Bergie....yes, I have seen this before, thank you for the reminder.

My plate is so full if I put one more thing on it, it will surely drop and everything will break.

What I'm searching for is it seems somewhere, either here on Hadit or on the VA site I saw a table

that showed if a Veteran is a 30% they are entitled to.....if 50%........and if 70% they are entitled to and so on.

ie: RX, commisary, etc.

Maybe it will come to me or, better yet, I'll find the "note to self" about this....in the meantime, I need to find

out where this information can be obtained. If I find it, I'll post the link.....

SOS! until then....

Found it! It was here on Hadit...posted by Carlie...Thanks Carlie! Ok, now my brain links are plugged back in. Whew. I knew I'd seen this. I know each State also has additional benefits for Veterans with sc illness/disease. This was exactly what I was looking for. Thanks again to Hadit.
