There has been a lot of discussion and inquiries regarding the new NYS Veterans 100% disability exemption. I have inquired as to what the requirements are to qualify for the exemption. I am currently still researching what forms need to be submitted along with which offices at the Veterans Administration the forms would be submitted to, to qualify for this exemption.
This is NOT a blanket exemption for all veterans with a 100% disability rating. Despite public perception, the law does not provide a total exemption for all veterans receiving a 100% disability compensation rating from the VA.
