Week of October 27, 2008

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is sending out disability verification letters to more than 20,000 Connecticut veterans and surviving spouses who may be eligible for state or local tax exemptions. Any Connecticut veteran who receives VA disability compensation, but does not receive a letter by the end of October, 2008 should contact the Hartford VA Regional Office in Newington by e-mail at pctc.vbahar@va.gov; by fax at 860-665-7654; or by calling VA's toll-free number, 1-800-827-1000. Veterans and survivors are advised to contact their local town tax assessor's office with any questions about Connecticut tax abatement programs. Read the full article on Military.com.
