In some cases, yes; in some cases, no. I know....
I've helped veterans with VAC. They get a civilian case manager, and a lot of what they actually need is not carried out. When they end up with a military-background case manager who understands what that veteran is actually going through, things change 120%. I've watched it in different veterans who have contacted me saying they need help with VAC.
As I said, when you get out of the military, unless you have a claim.... Most members don't even know how to put a claim in to VAC while they're still serving. They don't think they are allowed. They just don't know where to go sometimes, once they get out. I hate to say it, but honestly, they just fall through the cracks.
You know how hard it is to tell a veteran to go and ask for welfare. I've had to do it. It hurts.
