100% VA Total & Permanent Line of Duty Disability
Every Colorado 100% VA disabled veteran should be eligible for the Disabled Veteran Property Tax Exemption. It is wrong to deny TDIU vets the exemption the voters approved for ALL 100% VA disabled veterans when we approved Referendum E in 2006, Colorado Constitution Article X Section 3.5
A veteran is considered totally and permanently disabled if they have received a disability rating of 100% for service-connected disability compensation and the VA does not expect the condition to improve. Such language indicates that the rating of total disability is permanent.
By illogically and unfairly denying them a state constitutional protection, Colorado disrespects over 4000 TDIU veterans rated by the VA as 100% totally and permanently disabled in the line of duty. Colorado denies TDIU vets, totally disabled for the rest of their lives, our Disabled Veteran Property Tax Exemption. In doing so Colorado shows its disregard for their dedicated military service and their life-changing sacrifices.
Colorado is unique among the states in denying benefits to this group of 100% VA disabled veterans.
