Question
Fat
Talked to a female veteran whom was discharged from the National Guard, basic training, after fracturing her hip.
She says she still has problems from the hip fracture 7 years later.
She wasn't aware of VA disability.
I forwarded numbers to the American Legion and DAV to ask questions.
She said, since I wasn't in for 180 days, I thought I didn't qualify for any benefits.
The veteran currently doesn't have health insurance, but most municipalities have a indigent care fund for the uninsured.
Any suggestions on veterans short of 180 day criteria?
Any other benefits veteran might qualify for besides VA housing certificate?
If she is service connected, will a basic minimum rating qualify for VA healthcare?
All comments welcome..........

Brokensoldier is spot on. This 180 days stuff scares away a lot of veterans. It just isn't true. She just has to prove out s-c, like everyone else. If she was md boarded out or discharged for the inju
