Disability Discounts from your State Office (DMV, Assessors office, etc.)

There are special discounts on license plates, plate renewal, property taxes, park passes, etc.

Each state is different and you need to show your proof of disability, but for 50% or more military disability OR SSI/SSDI disability license plates and property taxes are either free or at a discount depending on the percent of disability.

I have never heard of a state OFFERING these services freely. You have to ask for them and know what to ask for.

Nobody seems to ever volunteer any information on the programs. Most states also do energy assistance and telephone assistance for the disabled at a higher rate than to the regular public ~ but again....make sure you ask because they won't offer it freely.
