1. Applicant served in the military or naval forces of the United States for at least ninety (90) days;
2. Applicant received an honorable discharge;
3. Applicant has a disability of at least 50%;
4. Applicant's disability is evidenced by:
A. a pension certificate or an award of compensation issued by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs; or
B. a certificate of eligibility issued to the individual by the Indiana Department of Veterans' Affairs ('IDVA') after IDVA has determined that the individual's disability qualifies the individual to receive a deduction under this new statue; and
5. Applicant's homestead was conveyed without charge to the applicant who is the owner of the homestead by an organization that is exempt from income taxation under the federal Internal Revenue Code.

The amount of the deduction is determined as follows:
1. If the applicant is totally disabled, the deduction is equal to 100% of the assessed value of the homestead.
2. If the applicant has a disability of at least 90% but the individual is not totally disabled, the deduction is equal to 90% of the assessed value of the homestead.
3. If the applicant has a disability of at least 80% but less than 90%, the deduction is equal to 80% of the assessed value of the homestead.
4. If the applicant has a disability of at least 70% but less than 80%, the deduction is equal to 70% of the assessed value of the homestead.
5. If the applicant has a disability of at least 60% but less than 70%, the deduction is equal to 60% of the assessed value of the homestead.
6. If the applicant has a disability of at least 50% but less than 60%, the deduction is equal to 50% of the assessed value of the homestead.

A veteran who claims this deduction for an assessment date may not also claim a partially disabled veteran deduction or totally disabled veteran deduction under IC 6-1.1-12-13 or 14, respectively, for that same assessment date. Moreover, an unused portion of this deduction may NOT be applied to excise taxes (See the Veteran Deduction Worksheet portion of this form.).
