Veterans disability pay not counted for housing
If you get VA service-connected disability pay, it is not counted as income for HUD low or moderate income checks. States, local governments, and tribes must follow this rule. This can help more disabled veterans qualify for housing programs or pay less where rents are income-based. The change applies starting on enactment.
