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.

Benefits such as healthcare or education assistance may be available, but certain types of discharges can limit access to other benefits like the GI Bill or disability compensation. Veterans often have the option to appeal their discharge status or seek a character of discharge upgrade, which could enhance their eligibility for benefits.
