Seems from your wording, i, that there could also be a disability issue. redleghunter’s advice is very sound.
Prayers for your brother.
Good point. Probably millions of Vets out there who never received a proper separation physical and disability assessment.
Some Vets get several assessments at 0%. Which means they have an identified disability but no compensation. However if the assessed condition flares up or becomes more serious the veteran can resubmit the claim.
There’s also state veteran’s programs people don’t know about. The VFW and American Legion can assist with this too.
Yes, it’s a long sad story and not altogether an uncommon one but we’re still in the fight and Bill is getting some help. There is so much good advice and prayers here at FR, I am very hopeful that things will be getting better for him soon.
Thanks again everyone for your prayers.
