Want this question answered?
Veterans are (and were) allowed to file claims with the VA (Veterans Administration) immediately upon receiving their honorable discharge.
you lose access to any potential benefits with a dishonorable discharge, HOWEVER, you CAN apply to have your discharge upgraded to other than honorable, general, honorable etc.
Yes. Having an Other Than Honorable discharge does not bar you from getting a Federal Job. They may scrupulously ask you further questions but it does not disqualify you. I know this because I work for the Federal Government and received an OTH several years ago. And I specifically stated on my application the type of discharge.
I believe you can............ No you Can't at least this is from experience in PA
According to the Veterans Benefits website any veteran who served active duty for 90 days consecutively, had an honorable discharge and has their DD214 discharge card qualifies for military discounts. The discharge card is necessary in order to receive one.
I believe you would be entitled to most benefits. Best to ask the V.A. 1-800-827-1000
You must serve at least 180 of active service to receive any benefits.
honestly with a felony you cant do much these days. If you received an honorable discharge, then your good, but if not then you cannot receive veteran benefits with other than honorable.
For honorable discharge, from 2 to 6 months.
they get nothing
I received a honorable discharge from the us air force before 180 days under article 396 medical conditions .
You'd really have to check with the Veterans Administration to be sure, however, unless the regulation has changed - no. I believe one year after separation you can apply to upgrade that "Other Than Honorable" to an "Honorable" discharge and then be eligible for benefits. A lot hinges on your civilian record since discharge. Again, I'm going from memory and everyone knows that's not reliable, so to be sure call your local VA representative and ask them. They can cite you chapter and verse and will even assist you in the application process when the time requirement is up. If anyone else out there can help this guy or provide more accurate information PLEASE do.
