Q181: I am a Vietnam veteran and I am 100% disabled by both the VA and Social Security due to ischemic heart disease. My friend has provided me a copy of an e-mail sent to him, by you dated Dec 15, 2017 12:51pm that states that we can get a “100% exemption of property tax”. I am unable to confirm that this applies in Kansas. Does it indeed apply to Kansas veterans?
