Question
hawkfire27
Just letting everyone know my husband has started the process for a discharge upgrade to medical retirement.
Contrary to popular belief there are waivers for things like this.
My husbad has documented in service progression of nerves, depression, excvessive worry etc. and is 1100% SC'ed with PTSD since 1988.
He went awol after 8 years in the military and was kicked ou t with a general under honorable.
A lawyer has just accepted his case stating he believes that my husband has an excellent chance for record correction and upgrade,
The key to the case is the fact that they did not perform a psych evel on discharge even though he has a history of mental health problems.
Soooooo they journey begins again. I will try and update as different things happen the lawyer thinks it will be a 8-12 month process from start to finish.
I hope that our experience through this might help another vet who thinks he has timed out or isn't sure he qualifies
We are a Vietnam vet and vet's wife, we are not lawyers or VSO's we're just learning as we go.
