Disabled veteran license

[WonderRanch]

I’ve had my lifetime disabled veteran license for awhile now.
I recently received a 100% disability rating from the VA.
Today I went to the VA to receive my state benefits package to file for various benefits.
I told them I already had a lifetime combo license.
They printed a veteran hunting and fishing permit for free. They insisted that I needed it.
What use is this card?

Your original lifetime license is good to go. I'm not sure why you needed the Veteran combo license.
I think they might not have understood what you had, and their response was because they didn't know.
I'm interested in how they respond.

Just another form of proof? I don't know, just thinking out loud.

Hey, don't sweat it. It was FREE!

Free? Hardly so. Broken bodies, broken souls, a lifetime of pain has to be figured into the cost. Somebody bring me my danged walker so I can dismount from the soapbox.

they probably just did it so on their monthly report somewhere they can add that to what they did for the month.

No, just like the money my kids get for college from the VA...It is not free. My broken body takes 45 mins to an hour to get itself ready to get around for the day. Migraines keep me on my back more days than not and I have not had full use of my hips and knees for years. Free it is not. I had to explain that fact to my college kids as well. But yes, the license is issued at no monetary cost, just our injuries , pride and service pay for it.

I know freedom is not free. 21 years, and my arthritic hip is not "service related". It was just a generic statement.
