Moderator broncovet Posted May 7, 2009 Moderator Share Posted May 7, 2009 The "disparity between states" on Veterans benefits extends to the stimulus package, because I have not gotten my stimulus check yet, and my son never got his last year, either.

HadIt.com Elder Philip Rogers Posted May 7, 2009 Author HadIt.com Elder Share Posted May 7, 2009 I think the stimulus for both years was for 100% vets and it looks as tho you are rated 40%. I could be wrong, tho. I don't believe there is any disparity on national benefits. States are free to do what they want. Some give bonuses, tax breaks, free education, disabled vet plates, etc. and some don't. pr The "disparity between states" on Veterans benefits extends to the stimulus package, because I have not gotten my stimulus check yet, and my son never got his last year, either.

HadIt.com Elder rentalguy1 Posted May 7, 2009 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted May 7, 2009 The $250 is for all vets that are receiving service connected compensation or a nsc pension. I have not seen anything on limits for percentages. The checks going out in May are not from the VA, though. These are for SSA recipients. The VA recipients will get theirs in June. You will only get one or the other, though. 90%, TDIU P&T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator broncovet Posted May 7, 2009 Moderator Share Posted May 7, 2009 Phillip.. This common misconception has been refuted by the Attorney General himself: Certain states, do, in fact, compensate their Veterans less: http://blog.cleveland.com/openers/2008/04/...k_vasil_of.html Some regional offices pay lower compensation to Veterans in their area by rating them lower. Sure..50% is still 28% of 100%, according to the VA fuzzy math. (If you dont beleive me..look up the 100% rating..then look up 50%. You will notice that 50% is not half of 100%, it is much less..about 28%, depending on dependents, to be precise). However, while one RO may rate a Veteran at 70%, the next RO may assign it a much lower rating. By doing that, the average compensation over millions of Veterans, is much less in some states than in others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
