Primary sources: 38 CFR Part 4, Wyoming Veterans Commission
Federal VA disability compensation amounts are set by Congress and are the same in every state. Wyoming publishes additional programs that may supplement what eligible veterans receive from the federal government. Verify current rules with the Wyoming Veterans Commission before relying on this page for filing decisions.
Federal disability compensation (same in every state)
The VA may rate service-connected disabilities under 38 CFR Part 4 and pay monthly compensation under 38 U.S.C. § 1110 (wartime) or § 1131 (peacetime). The combined-rating estimator computes an estimated monthly amount under 38 CFR § 4.25 if you have one or more rated conditions.

Other Wyoming-published programs
- Veterans Property Tax Exemption. Wyoming offers a property tax exemption of up to $3,000 of assessed value on the primary residence (or on a vehicle license fee) for eligible wartime or service-connected disabled veterans. Amounts and rules are set by statute. Source.
- Wyoming State Veterans Home (Buffalo). The Wyoming Veterans Home in Buffalo provides long-term skilled nursing and domiciliary care to eligible WY veterans. Admission is based on availability and combined VA and state eligibility rules. Source.
- No State Income Tax. Wyoming has no state income tax. VA disability compensation is already federally tax-exempt; this state posture means no additional state tax layer applies to compensation or retirement income. Source.
- Veteran Designation on Wyoming Driver License. Wyoming driver licenses and state ID cards may display a "VETERAN" designation at no additional fee with DD-214 verification through the Wyoming Department of Transportation. Source.
