It looks like you were in during the Vietnam war. You may be able to get Aid and Attendance if your Medical bills outweigh your income. You need to make an appt with your local VA office. Take all your papers with you. The rep should be able to tell you want you are entitled to.
We are just a forum of people caring for LOs. The VA gets kind of tricky depending on when you served and how long you served.
A little more info might help. Discharged from what? or from where? Ok..just looked this up..You probably need to contact the VA or Veterans Commission Office for answers.
