The old saying 'get it in writing' will probably apply here.  Otherwise, a judge will just view it as hearsay.\n\nSo, if it wasn't in writing, you will have a hard time proving a case about the refusal part, which will open the door to collect the past support.

Call the Veterans Administration and find out what programs they have available for helping vets who are struggling and write that information down.\n\nTell your brother that you love and are concerned about him. Give him the information that you have obtained from the VA. Encourage him to contact them for help. Tell him that you will do whatever you can for him, if he needs help. \n\nYou can put it in writing if you have difficulty talking to him. Meet with him and give him your note and ask him to let you know if he wants to talk.

As a former Soldier (who was discharged honorably) I can tell you that a dishonorable discharge reflects negatively upon you when you go for future employment. Employers do have access to your DD 214, so to say you were never in the military would certainly put you on a bad foot because then you'd come out as a liar. Be upfront and honest with the employer, explain the situation and perhaps they will decide to hire you anyway, if they feel you've grown past what caused you to get discharged. Your DD 214 tells your type of discharge and the reason for it. Many employers do look negatively at a dishonorable discharge.

Speeking as someone with prior service, yes they will, but MAKE SURE you get everything in writing.  If you have any doubts, have a lawyer look it over.  I love and respect the armed forces, but they can take advantage of you if your not carefull.  Good Luck.

I thought it was illegal for a company to fire you.  They don't have to hold your old job but they have to have a job for you. I would like to thank you for your sacrifice, it's because of people like you that I can enjoy my freedom. Shame on all of the companies who don't honor our veterans. As the wife of an active duty soldier it really burns me up.  good luck to you, and again THANK YOU!!!! Maybe call your local news affiliates and bring it to thier attention.

If the receiving state has denied acceptance of your husband, you are out of luck.  \n\nHis best bet would be to enter rehab and get clean, and then try for a transfer in a year.

My father's a Vietnam Veteran, and I can tell that his scars from Vietnam will never completely heal. He suffers more now that when he served his tour. Our family has learned to understand this, live with it and continue with life as best as we can. \n\nMy father suffers from numerous physical and psychological disorders originationg from his tour. There are many horror stories about how VA treats veterans, but I have to admit that VA has been wonderful to my father and our family. \n\nThe VA medical system is the only system that was able to properly treat my father's issues, and we've been through a dozen doctors in private practice to try and help him. My father's needs have increased as he grows older, and VA has provided assisted care so my Mother and I can have breaks from taking care of him. \n\nThe VA system is not perfect though. It is a federal system, and sometimes things take a long time to happen than it seem it should. I can see how veterans easily get lost in the system, and that is where Veteran's support organizations come into play. The organization that my father belongs deals with much of the paperwork that can be extremely confusing.\n\nI would suggest that you contact a Veeteran's support organiation in your local area as well as a Veterans's support group. Your husband didn't serve alone during his tours, but served with other brave men who shared the same experiences. You and your husband should not deal with your issues alone, and should share it with other just as he did in Vietnam.\n\nGod luck to you and God bless...

I hate to use a cliche, but HONESTY!\n\nSpend a few real honset moments with yourself.  Examine your part, claim ownership of what you did wrong.  Ask yourself "was what I said or did unthoughtful towrd others feelings/hurtful/mean in any way?"  We dont want you to not confess and have regrets.\n\nCome to your partner and let them know that you see your wrongs.  This will inspire them to get honest and own their side of the street, unless they are in huge denial.  Most of the times it works if the person is decent.\n\nThe and only then is it truly resolved.  If each person does not claim their share, resentments build and it will come out later, and worse!\n\nBest of luck and be real honest! U can do it!

Refuse to partake in whatever it was they didn't include you in the decision of. No matter what it is, just say,\n"No, Honey, you decided that. I have other plans. Next time I hope you respect me enough to ask my opinion."\n  It might take a few times but they'll catch on, 'include you in the decision or go or do it alone.'\n    It's what I did, and it worked. Good Luck.

Veterans and other claimants for VA benefits have the right to appeal decisions made by a VA regional office or medical center.\n Your first step should be to do your homework and read the Appeals Frequently Asked Questions page, and review the Glossary of terms common to the appeals process. You can also read more about the Board of Veterans Appeals and the U.S. Court of Veterans Appeals here.\nhttp://www.military.com/Resources/ResourcesContent/0,13964,32522--1,00.html

Are you single or married?  \n\nTruth is always a defense.  Since the status is a question of fact, if someone has 'lied' about the status does provide some liability, particularly if there is a financial penalty involved.  Example would be if someone changed your tax withholding from single to married without your permission.\n\nBut for benefits and insurance purposes, no, you cannot sue.

consider contacting the Disabled American Veterans, The Shriners or perhaps a local community service agency

You cannot do anything that would mean more to a soldier than THANK him or her. That includes ALL VETERANS. Just walk up and say Thank You because if there were no veterans there may not be a you as you know it. As for the disenchanted soldiers... don't just count what this administration has done. There were many, many vets before you.

Contact your VA office in the area. If the person is a Veteran and need of health care it is a possiblity that he can recieve it that being he can not afford it or whatever the case may be.

You can't say anything to him. He may have survivors guilt or PTSD, either way all you can do is let him know you are there for him. \n\nI have a "friend" who was in the service and has PTSD. I will never fully or even partially comprehend what exactly he went through But I let him know I am here for him. I also did some research on PTSD, so I would have an understand of what it is and how it affects someone. \n\nThe one thing you might try, is talking to your husband about joining a Veterans organization....Such as the Veterans of Foreign Wars in your area. Being around people that have been through what my Friend has been through seemed to help him. \n\nI hope this helps.

Yes you do ..... if everything you say is true and you documented every thing said and done and all your absences and why. Find out what company carries their Workers Compensation Package. Get name address, get written denials sent to you. Keep all correspondence from unemployment security depts and why denied and find an attorney with free consultation time. Be sure when you call attorney , he is not on a retainer with your employer. Look for attorneys that take contingency cases. There are alot out there. Sue.
