THREAD: If there are any LGBTQ folks that were discharged under other than honorable conditions for sexual orientation, and you're curious about what benefits you may now be entitled to under Biden's new plan, I'm here to help. Here's a small list. 1/ militarytimes.com/veterans/2021/…
If you are disabled, either physically or mentally because of something that happened to you in the military - which may include your shitty discharge - you could be eligible for monthly VA disability compensation. Here's how to get it... 2/
Contact your local veteran service organization (like the VFW). They have representatives that can help you file your claim. It can take a few months, but it's worth it. You can be awarded anywhere from $145 to $3400 per month. 3/ va.gov/disability/com…
You will now have unfettered access to mental health care at VA regardless of your disability rating. And depending on your disability rating, you'll have access to low-cost or no-cost full coverage. This link breaks down health benefits 4/ va.gov/health-care/el…
You could also have access to burial and funeral benefits. Information here: 5/ benefits.va.gov/compensation/c…
You will also be eligible for life insurance benefits. Information here 6/ benefits.va.gov/insurance/
You are now eligible for a VA home loan which means there's no origination fee, NO DOWN PAYMENT required, and a low interest rate. 7/ benefits.va.gov/homeloans/
If you are more than 30% disabled, you can go to college for free 8/ benefits.va.gov/vocrehab/
If you are 100% disabled, you can get your student loans discharged by calling NelNet, you get a property tax waiver in most states, and your KIDS get tuition-free college in some states. 9/ cck-law.com/types-of-va-di…
As a veteran, you get preferred hiring status with the federal government. You also get small business benefits and contractor preference with the federal government. 10/ fedshirevets.gov/job-seekers/ve…
