Yes, veterans with a 100 percent disability rating from the Department of Veterans Affairs are typically eligible for free access to national parks and recreational areas. They can obtain an Access Pass, which grants them free admission to national parks and federal recreation sites. It's advisable for veterans to check the specific policies of individual parks, as some may have different procedures for obtaining the pass.
As far as I know, there is a strict limit as to how much money you can earn and still receive 100 percent disability. I have heard that even working a part time job could put you over the limit. This goes for anyone rated 100 percent or anyone at 60 percent or higher who has been classified as "unemployable."
State laws do not govern SSD or Veteran Disability benefits. Such benefits are protected under federal exemption laws and are not subject to attachment for creditor debt only.

I work at a VA clinic and three employees here work full time and are 100%.(ADDED by McHammer38)There are actually two ways to receive 100% VA disability. One is to be rated 100% based off the severity of your service-connected disability and the other is called Individual Unemployability (IU).Individual Unemployability is a part of the VA's disability compensation program that allows the VA to pay certain veterans compensation at the 100% rate, even though the VA has not rated their service-connected disabilities at the total level.A veteran must be unable to maintain substantially gainful employment as a result of his/her service-connected disabilities. Additionally, a veteran must have:· One service-connected disability ratable at 60percent or more, ORTwo or more service-connected disabilities, at least one disability ratable at 40 percent or more with a combined rating of 70 percent or more.Veterans who are in receipt of Individual Unemployability benefits may work as long as it is not considered substantially gainful employment. The employment must be considered marginal employment.Substantially gainful employment is defined as employment at which non-disabled individuals earn their livelihood with earnings comparable to the particular occupation in the community where the veteran resides.Marginal employment is generally deemed to exist when a veteran's earned income does not exceed the amount established by the U.S. Census Bureau as the poverty level for the veteran only.Though it may sound counter-intuitive, if the veteran gets a rating of 100% disabled, he is allowed to work full time. This was explained to me by a VA counsellor. It made sense at the time, but I can't recall the logic now.Hope that helps.
You do not get "free money" for being a veteran. You can receive disability compensation from the Department of Veterans Affairs for injuries and disabilities received while on active duty. The compensation received is not free, it is earned from the sacrifices made by the men and woman who have served this country in the Armed Forces.
