Getting A Disabeled Vet Car Plate

[Cm Burns]

My friend has 30% and asked me about a tag for her car. I told her about the board but she has no computer. What % do you have to have to get the DV Tag and what does she need, if she qualifies, to get it.

May vary from state to state. In Idaho, you have to be 100% (schedular or TDIU) and you must present a letter from Idaho VA stating you are eligible. The plate and all associated fees is free. They automatically renew it for you every year.

Every state is different. PA is one of the easiest. You send the Dept of Trans form to the VARO. They write in 10% or more and then they write in the # of the reason/disability found on the info page, there are 8. They all pertain to how well/far you can walk. That's it. Send it in to the DOT with $7.50 and the plate comes in the mail within 2 weeks. You have to pay the regular registration fee every year unless you are 100% which is free, but it is worth it. It feels good having a disabled veteran plate instead of the regular handicapped one.

In Texas you have to be 60% or more. Its pretty easy and it allows you to park in Handicapped if you want.

In Tennessee, there are free license plates for 100% service connected disabled veterans, Ex-POW's, and recipients of MOH, DSC, NC or AFC.
