Not sure whether that describes you?
Answer a few questions about this benefit specifically — we only ask what this one actually depends on, and we stop as soon as we know.
How to claim it
- 1Count the residency: one year or more immediately before applying, the same test as the complimentary licence.
- 2Bring satisfactory proof that you are a veteran and a bona fide Purple Heart medal recipient — the DD-214 showing the award is the natural document.
- 3The half price is written into the statute itself — unlike the general disability discount in the same section, it is not a ceiling the department may undercut.
- Form

- File with
- The game and fish department, with satisfactory proof of the medal
- Documents you will need
- dd214
- Annual
- Claimed once a year.

Why only one source type: The statute fixes the half price and the proof standard; the game and fish department's own site sits behind a bot wall and could not be read for the operational page.
