Hey there, fellow warriors! Today, we’re diving into a topic that’s crucial for many veterans: requests to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) concerning State bonuses or tax exemptions. At Warrior Allegiance, we understand the importance of accessing all available benefits, and we’re here to provide the assistance you need to navigate this process with ease.
When to Provide Information to a State
Let’s start with the basics. If a state requests information from VA records to determine an individual’s eligibility for a state bonus or tax exemption, it’s essential to provide any available information. This can be authorized by the veteran themselves or by their next of kin if the veteran has passed away.
Nature of Information to Provide
When furnishing information to a State, it’s important to stick to matters of record. While it’s acceptable to state information such as a veteran being at least 10-percent disabled and receiving compensation, it’s improper to make determinations regarding tax exemptions or State bonuses. These determinations are the responsibility of local authorities under applicable State legislation.
Assistance from Warrior Allegiance

Certification Without Further Rating Action
In some cases, VA may certify that a veteran has a Permanent and Total (P&T) disability rating in effect without the need for a formal rating decision. This can be beneficial, especially for veterans who are age 65 or older and have been denied or discontinued pension payments due to excessive income. Warrior Allegiance ensures that veterans receive the certifications they need to access the benefits they deserve.
