My husband was in the Army for a short time before we were married but got an honorable discharge because he was employed for "critical skills". He then was in the reserves for a while. I have no documentations anywhere. This was around 1960. I have been told to check if he has any VA benefits. He is now in memory care at $6000/ month, no long term insurance. It would be wonderful if I could get some aid, but I doubt if I can wondering if I could try with no papers and such a short time of being enlisted. My feeling is no, but wondering about opinions from anyone here. There was no active duty here and no war at the time. Just had to explore as the costs are astronomical and don't know how long funds will last.
If he has a shorter duty than that, he won’t qualify for fiancial help, but he still may be eligible for other veteran benefits.
