Only partially true.
100% disabled Veterans pay no tax.
The way the VA assigns disability ratings for TBI is in part to keep the majority of Veterans from NOT receiving 100% disability.
"In Texas, a veteran with a disability rating of: 70- 100 percent may receive a $12,000 property tax exemption.
Veterans with a full 100% disability rating are fully exempt from property taxes.
50- 69 percent may receive a $10,000 property tax exemption.
30- 49 percent may receive a $7,500 property tax exemption.
10- 29 percent may receive a $5,000 property tax exemption.
I know Vets with multiple TBI injuries who got only a 30% disability rating (had TBI plus loads of other injuries) while REMF got much higher disability ratings and never deployed to a combat zone. The system is rigged. And long overdue for an overhaul.
The original point was disabled Veterans deserve retirement pay AND disability pay.
And everyone assumes a "Disabled Vet" is 100% disabled and gets all these free perks. Not True.
