Do military veterans receive veterans’ credit on examinations?
Veterans’ Preference points are added to passing scores on Open Competitive examinations only. An applicant can receive a maximum of 5 points for Veterans’ Preference or a maximum of 10 points for Disabled Veterans’ Preference. Please refer to the State of Connecticut application form (CT-HR-12) for specific information on requesting Veterans’ Preference points and criteria for receiving such points. Please remember that in order to receive Veterans’ Preference points a copy of your DD214 must be submitted if it is not already on file at DAS. To establish eligibility due to disability, the veteran must have been entitled to receive compensation for such disability. Proof of eligibility from the Veterans Administration must be dated not more than six months prior to the date of submission or death of the Veteran. Other documents may be required depending on the Veterans’ status you are claiming. A reprint of this Veterans’ Preference section of the State application form is reprinted be
