It varies depending on your degree of disability disability. However, in most states, Purple Heart recipients receive free registration and/or licenses for their vehicles. In some states, PH recipients and/or their children receive free or reduced college education at state schools (I think Indiana or Illinois is completely free, I know NC is at an 80% reduction; I don't know about other states' specifics). Some private colleges offer this as well. If you are deemed disabled (not all PH recipients are), you will end up receiving disability pay from the VA (there are two types of Disability pay) and medical care. Sometimes, PH recipients get free/reduced admission to certain places (although a lot military get this anyway). And, I know this isn't official, but, my husband has gotten out of a lot of speeding tickets when the policemen saw the PH license plate.

A purple heart is tied to an injury, so it can lead to a disability. The military determines what % this disability affects your ability to work and make a living and they will pay you disability pay.

They receive a medal, that's it. If their injuries are disabling, they can receive a disability payment.
And of course, they get alot of abuse if they decide to run for president.

Pensions and free medical care if you are deemed disabled due to your injuries. Otherwise, honor.
