Each such application shall include a copy of such veteran's federal income tax return or, in the event such a return is not filed, such evidence related to income as may be required by the Town Assessor for the tax year of such veteran ending immediately prior to the assessment date with respect to which such additional exemption is claimed.
The dwelling house and the lot whereupon the same is erected, belonging to or held in trust for any citizen and resident of the Town of Old Lyme, occupied as his or her domicile, shall be fully exempt from property taxes levied by the Town of Old Lyme if he or she is a veteran who served in the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard or Air Force of the United States and has received financial assistance for specially adapted housing under the provisions of Section 801 of Title 38 of the United States Code and has applied such assistance toward the acquisition of such dwelling house.
