My experience is of how overly adversarial & abusive the SSA & VA claims process is. As a 100% "Service-Connected" Disabled American veteran, the VA is delaying the awarding of an Earlier Effective date that is consistent with my "Service-Connection" and onset of disabilities (1987). The SSA medical exam determined disability in 1991 but crooked lawyers & judges cheated me.

It would depend on whether or not the mental (or medical) reason(s) for discharge are service connected.

Yes, the idea was abandoned. The idea was to allow the VA to charge veterans' health insurance policies for all medical care, not just for care other-than for service-connected conditions. At it stands presently, VA medical care to veterans not given for service-connected conditions can be charged back to the veteran's health insurance if it exists. Of course, treatment at VA facilities for conditions directly resulting from military service are never charged to the veteran or insurance program.
