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. (Answer edited to remove personal information)
Can being discharged from the army for mental reasons before 180 days of service disqualify a person from having veterans benefits?
It would depend on whether or not the mental (or medical) reason(s) for discharge are service connected. If the V.A. determines that the reasons are service connected, then you should still be able to obtain veterans benefits. You may also qualify for some services from the V.A. even if your disability isn't service connected, but these are decided on case by case.
