The application process for VA benefits in Florida will take your service history into account. You may not be able to receive benefits if:
You were dishonorably discharged
Your injury or condition occurred during misconduct such as absence without leave (AWOL)
Your injury or condition occurred during detention for misconduct
However, you could potentially apply for a correction of discharge status in some circumstances, for example, if you suffered from a mental health condition at the time.
If you are trying to receive veterans’ benefits but were not honorably discharged, an attorney from our firm could help get your status reviewed by the VA.
