You didn't quote who you were asking, but the 40% is what I mentioned as to the level of my agent orange disability, so you must be asking me. You're getting a $5,000 deduction off your appraised value of your home for taxes, that is the basic veteran disability amount. There is a difference between service related and combat related. If yours was in a combat zone, purple heart, agent orange, etc, I posted what to do. Go the VA service window next to the tax desk inside the Gold Dome and ask for a letter confirming that's combat related and give it to the tax lady. Lake and Marion County you'll have to find the building on your own.
