|---|---|---|---|
| 100 percent; permanent and total | Property tax | Eligible New Jersey veterans rated 100 percent permanent and total can receive a property tax exemption.

Source gaps
- Vehicle: New Jersey vehicle: The guide was readable, but the vehicle provisions still require a verified rating threshold or fee amount before a record can be filled. Sources tried: www.nj.gov.
- Hunting and fishing: New Jersey hunting and fishing: The reviewed guide did not yield a captured disability-based wildlife license rule with a supported threshold or amount. Sources tried: www.nj.gov.
- State parks: New Jersey state parks: The disability pass provides free entry and a camping discount based on general disability documentation, but the application does not identify VA ratings as a qualification. Sources tried: dep.nj.gov.
- Dependent tuition: New Jersey dependent tuition: The current benefits directory did not establish a state dependent tuition award based on a living veteran's disability. Sources tried: www.nj.gov.
State veterans homes

Get ready for your appointment
A VSO representative can file your claim and represent you at no cost. You still gather the evidence, and arriving organized helps you get more from the appointment.
What to bring
- Your DD-214 or other discharge papers
- Any VA decision letters you have received
- Medical records you want to discuss, from VA or private doctors
- A short list of your conditions and your questions
Ask the office what else it needs. Contact the office even if you are unsure which documents you need.
Starting a new claim? Ask about an intent to file
An intent to file (VA Form 21-0966) can hold your potential start date for benefits for up to one year while you gather evidence. Ask the office to submit one at your first contact if you have not filed one already. Check your intent to file deadline with the free calculator.

Claim Raven is software, not an accredited representative. It does not file claims or represent you. These tools are optional.
