You must attach DD214 or certificate of service-connected disability from the VA.
The relevant portion of SDCL 33A-2-1 defines Veteran as any person who:
(1) Has served the full obligation for active duty, reserve, or National Guard service in the military, or received an early discharge for a medical condition, hardship, reduction in force, or at the convenience of the military; and
(2) Has been separated or discharged from such service honorably or under honorable conditions.
The spouse of a Disabled Veteran who is unable to exercise the preference or an unmarried spouse of a deceased Veteran who died while in service or later died from a service-connected cause may also qualify for Veterans’ Preference.Â
