Thresholds

Thresholds for Craven County Tax Department: Disabled Veteran Exclusion
Gate	Rule
Permanent and total service-connected disability	The rating path is VA's certification of a total and permanent service-connected disability. A section 2101 adapted housing grant qualifies instead, and an unremarried surviving spouse qualifies on the veteran's routes or a service-connected death; the rating filter cannot test those.
Discharge honorable or under honorable conditions	The statute takes honorable or under honorable conditions; the county list says "honorably discharged".
