A) -100% Permanent and Total (P&T) veterans have an amazing opportunity in a Department of Education program called Total and Permanent Disability Discharge (TPD).  This Dept. of Education program is not advertised by the VA or DoD.  The TPD program falls into the 'too-good-to-be-true' category.  Read about it in my Total and Permanent Disability Discharge (TPD) blog or at the Dept. of Education under the "Total and Permanent Disability Discharge | Federal Student Aid" section.  This program is especially important for 100% P&T veterans that either don't have enough GI Bill months remaining or if those veterans want to save those GI Bill months for their family.  Read about the TPD program and take advantage today!

 

B) -100% P&T military retirees can apply to not have federal taxes withheld on military retirement pay.  Overseasveteran.com has the forms required to apply to the Defense Finance Accounting Service (DFAS). [Read the "No Federal Tax Withheld on Military Pension" blog for further information.]
