Hello I have a Family Member thats a non-combat veteran that needs help applying for benefits if any. I have a copy of their discharge papers so If you can reach out and let me know if anything can be done. I can provide more information about the unit they’re at and anything else you may need.
Thank you for reaching out. There are resources available to help your family member apply for benefits. You can start by contacting the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) or a Veterans Service Organization (VSO) for assistance. They can review the discharge papers and determine eligibility for healthcare, pensions, or other benefits.
For direct assistance, consider:
VA Benefits Hotline: 1-800-827-1000
VA website: http://www.va.gov
Veterans Service Organizations (VSOs) such as the American Legion, VFW, or DAV, which offer free claims assistance.
If they need local support, many state and county veterans’ offices also provide assistance. Let me know if you need help finding resources in their area!

We understand how difficult it is. For your support, attend one of the Prison Families Alliance online meetings – https://PrisonFamiliesAlliance.org/calendar. We also recommend looking for local resources in that area that may be able to provide guidance.
