Va Tax Relief For Disabled Veterans


Recommended Posts

Went to a Tax Relief work shop put on by the local Fairfax county today. Found out that the 100% disability exemption is just waiting for the governors signature and will be retro to Jan. 1,2011 that is a given.

She also told me that the county will notify the holder of the veterans mortgage and tell them that the veteran will not be billed in July so they will not need to send the county the payment.

I have been trying since Nov. 10 when the amendment was passed to get my lender to return my escrow and they keep saying they need a form from the county. Well the lady from Fairfax county tax relief told me that she will be talking to the head of the tax office and see if they can put out a letter sooner and tell the bank that this will occur and they need not expect a bill from the county.

Not sure if this will work or not with my lender Wells Fargo but they are being real asses over this though I have sent them the laws and my qualifying letter they still insist I have to pay it! This is quite a bit of money that I could be using instead of them making interest on it.

If you are 100% disability in Virginia a recommend going to the work shops to see what kind of help you can get!

Good luck to you all!

OK an update on this finally!! After passing the house and senate some localities in VA are taking names for their list and sending out letters. I would recommend all 100% P/T disabled veterans contact their tax commissioner.

Also the Virginia Governor has the date of March 31 on his calendar to sign veteran legislature! Not sure if this one will be included but I would assume and hope so!!

good luck to all and thank you Virginia!

OK!! It is a done deal! Contact your local county, city tax commission to get the form for tax exemption. It is a very simple form to fill out and send in.

This is a great thank you to Virginia vets! I say thank you Virginia citizens and VA Governor Bob McDonnell!!

Mo is really bogus about this. You pay the tax to the county then send the copy to the state seat and then they decide if and when they pay you back...bull the law states 100% PT get home taxes free, but still have to pay personal tax ie auto's, boat, motorcycle, 4 wheeler, etc. Now they say they want to look at income to decide if they will pay. They owe me for 2 yrs already........:angry:

    • I met with a VSO today at my VA Hospital who was very knowledgeable and very helpful.  We decided I should submit a few new claims which we did.  He told me that he didn't need copies of my military records that showed my sick call notations related to any of the claims.  He said that the VA now has entire military medical record on file and would find the record(s) in their own file.  It seemed odd to me as my service dates back to  1981 and spans 34 years through my retirement in 2015.  It sure seemed to make more sense for me to give him copies of my military medical record pages that document the injuries as I'd already had them with me.  He didn't want my copies.  Anyone have any information on this.  Much thanks in advance.

    • Caluza Triangle defines what is necessary for service connection
      Caluza Triangle – Caluza vs Brown defined what is necessary for service connection. See COVA– CALUZA V. BROWN–TOTAL RECALL

      This has to be MEDICALLY Documented in your records:

      Current Diagnosis.   (No diagnosis, no Service Connection.)

      In-Service Event or Aggravation.
      Nexus (link- cause and effect- connection) or Doctor’s Statement close to: “The Veteran’s (current diagnosis) is at least as likely due to x Event in military service”

    • VA has gotten away with (mis) interpreting their  ambigious, , vague regulations, then enforcing them willy nilly never in Veterans favor.  

      They justify all this to congress by calling themselves a "pro claimant Veteran friendly organization" who grants the benefit of the doubt to Veterans.  

      This is not true, 

      Proof:  

          About 80-90 percent of Veterans are initially denied by VA, pushing us into a massive backlog of appeals, or worse, sending impoverished Veterans "to the homeless streets" because  when they cant work, they can not keep their home.  I was one of those Veterans who they denied for a bogus reason:  "Its been too long since military service".  This is bogus because its not one of the criteria for service connection, but simply made up by VA.  And, I was a homeless Vet, albeit a short time,  mostly due to the kindness of strangers and friends. 

          Hadit would not be necessary if, indeed, VA gave Veterans the benefit of the doubt, and processed our claims efficiently and paid us promptly.  The VA is broken. 

          A huge percentage (nearly 100 percent) of Veterans who do get 100 percent, do so only after lengthy appeals.  I have answered questions for thousands of Veterans, and can only name ONE person who got their benefits correct on the first Regional Office decision.  All of the rest of us pretty much had lengthy frustrating appeals, mostly having to appeal multiple multiple times like I did. 

          I wish I know how VA gets away with lying to congress about how "VA is a claimant friendly system, where the Veteran is given the benefit of the doubt".   Then how come so many Veterans are homeless, and how come 22 Veterans take their life each day?  Va likes to blame the Veterans, not their system.   
    • Welcome to hadit!  

          There are certain rules about community care reimbursement, and I have no idea if you met them or not.  Try reading this:

      https://www.va.gov/resources/getting-emergency-care-at-non-va-facilities/

         However, (and I have no idea of knowing whether or not you would likely succeed) Im unsure of why you seem to be so adamant against getting an increase in disability compensation.  

         When I buy stuff, say at Kroger, or pay bills, I have never had anyone say, "Wait!  Is this money from disability compensation, or did you earn it working at a regular job?"  Not once.  Thus, if you did get an increase, likely you would have no trouble paying this with the increase compensation.  

          However, there are many false rumors out there that suggest if you apply for an increase, the VA will reduce your benefits instead.  

      That rumor is false but I do hear people tell Veterans that a lot.  There are strict rules VA has to reduce you and, NOT ONE of those rules have anything to do with applying for an increase.  

      Yes, the VA can reduce your benefits, but generally only when your condition has "actually improved" under ordinary conditions of life.  

          Unless you contacted the VA within 72 hours of your medical treatment, you may not be eligible for reimbursement, or at least that is how I read the link, I posted above. Here are SOME of the rules the VA must comply with in order to reduce your compensation benefits:
