“It is important that we never forget the sacrifices our service members make while in uniform. Sometimes those sacrifices come in the form of life-long injuries,” Maj. Gen. John Pippy, Pennsylvania’s adjutant general and head of the DMVA said. “It is our responsibility to aid those with extreme loss and the Amputee and Paralyzed Veterans Pension is one way we can do that. I encourage all eligible veterans to apply for these benefits.”
Here’s who qualifies:
- Was a resident of Pennsylvania upon entering the military
- Received Honorable or Under Honorable Conditions discharge
- Have a service-connected disability rating of 40% or higher in each of two or more limbs (arms/hands or legs/feet) as determined by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs
