Kent County Veterans Services pays local programmes to serve the county's veterans: dental care at My Community Dental Centers, home repairs and medically necessary renovations through Senior Neighbors, house cleaning for disabled veterans, and substance use counselling at Arbor Circle.
Kent County veterans and surviving spouses. Each programme sets its own test; house cleaning is for disabled veterans and their spouses. No rating floor is published.
A 2026 law added PTSD to Kentucky's hyperbaric oxygen therapy statute. It creates a right of access, not a right to payment - the provider may charge the veteran the full cost.
No disability rating required. KRS 217.934 requires a diagnosis, a prescription, and written informed consent. No disability rating appears anywhere in KRS 217.930 to 217.942, so the rating filter never hides this entry.
Five state-run skilled nursing homes for Kentucky veterans. At a 70% rating or higher the VA per diem covers the whole cost and the veteran pays nothing out of pocket.
No minimum rating for admission. Admission requires veteran status, an other-than-dishonorable discharge, Kentucky residency at admission, a need for nursing care, and medical needs the facility can meet. No disability rating is required to be admitted, so the rating filter never hides this entry.

From August 1, 2026 no Louisiana provider may charge for records requested to support a VA or state disability claim. The state veterans agency calls it once per facility; the statute says once per veteran.
Once per veteran, not once per facility. The exemption applies only once per veteran and does not apply to any subsequent request for medical records regardless of purpose. The Louisiana Department of Veterans Affairs describes it as once per facility, which the enacted statute does not support. No disability rating is required, so the rating filter never hides this benefit.
Five state homes at Bossier City, Jackson, Jennings, Monroe and Reserve. Ninety days of active duty and an honorable discharge qualify, spouses and Gold Star parents may live there, and there is no monthly fee at 70% or more.
90 days of active duty and an honorable discharge. Admission requires 90 days or more of active duty with an honorable discharge, or fewer than 90 days where the discharge was for a service-connected disability.

Free dental care for a Maine veteran who is uninsured, cannot afford dental insurance, and does not have a 100 percent service-connected disability. Preventative, diagnostic, restorative and required oral surgery are covered.
A 100 percent service-connected determination makes a veteran ineligible. The programme excludes a veteran with a 100 per cent service-connected disability determination from VA, because that veteran already has comprehensive VA dental eligibility. This is the unusual case where a higher rating removes the benefit rather than granting it.
Six skilled nursing and rehabilitation homes at Augusta, Bangor, Caribou, Machias, Scarborough and South Paris. Spouses, surviving spouses and Gold Star parents may be admitted when space allows.
Honorable discharge and Maine residence. Admission reaches honorably discharged veterans who are Maine residents at entry or at application. No disability rating is required for admission, so the rating filter never hides this benefit.

Diagnosed with PTSD, blind, mobility impaired, or hearing impaired. The statute covers an armed services veteran who is blind, mobility impaired, diagnosed with PTSD, or hearing impaired. No disability rating percentage is required and no VA adjudication is named, so the rating filter never hides this benefit.

Active duty service in the U.S. Armed Forces and a discharge that was not under dishonorable conditions, documented by a DD-214 or equivalent report of separation.
