The Pennsylvania Department of Military and Veterans Affairs (DMVA) wants veterans who may qualify for a monthly pension through the state’s Amputee and Paralyzed Veterans Pension program to apply now.

To qualify, applicants must meet the following criteria:
Resident of Pennsylvania upon entering the military;
Honorable or Under Honorable Conditions discharge; and
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.
To apply, Pennsylvania veterans should contact their County Director of Veterans Affairs in the county they reside.
