1 Discharge Upgrades, and Where to Go for Services until the Upgrade National Coalition for Homeless Veterans Conference, May 29, 2014 Teresa Panepinto Swords to Plowshares (415) James Richardson Homeless Veterans Representation Project; Mid-Shore Pro Bono, Inc. (301) Introductions 2. Video 3. Scope of Problem 4. Types of Discharges, Benefits Eligibility 5. Basics of Discharge Review 6. Basic of VA Character of Discharge Determinations (alternative to discharge review) 7. Q&A Swords to Plowshares is a veterans service organization in San Francisco We provide the following services: Legal assistance with VA claims and discharge upgrades Health and Social Services case management Employment and Training assistance Rapid Re-housing and Homeless Prevention via SSVF Transitional housing for veterans with mental illnesses and veterans undergoing treatment for substance abuse Permanent supportive housing for formerly homeless veterans We also operate the Institute for Veteran Policy (IVP), which researches issues important to veterans and raises public awareness 1
2 Significance of Bad Paper 692,000 less than fully Honorable Discharges during Vietnam era 115,000 Other Than Honorable discharges since 2001 at least 14,000 current homeless veterans w/ bad paper Multiple deployments, higher survival rates but increase in medical conditions/disabilities, & signature wounds of PTSD & TBI all contribute to possibility of bad paper. Increase in bad paper predicted as a result of shrinking military (going to smallest force since pre WWII) Bad paper vets deprived of access to: Grant Per Diem SSVF HUD-VASH Service-connected disability compensation Non service-connected pension Most Important Civil Legal Need of Homeless Veterans For veterans with disabilities that prevent them from working, or diminish their earning potential, VA benefits are the most important. Veterans generally cannot properly address other civil legal needs without stable housing (i.e. cannot win custody of children if no place to house them) Often only way to get stable housing is via VA benefits (HUD-VASH, income supports) Who is a Veteran? According to VA, Veteran status requires discharge under conditions other than dishonorable Automatically qualified: Honorable General (Under Honorable Conditions) Uncharacterized (if for Entry Level Separation) Automatically disqualified: Bad Conduct by general court-martial Dishonorable Subject to VA discretion: Uncharacterized (if for Void Enlistment or Induction, or Dropped from the Rolls) Other than Honorable Bad Conduct by special court-martial 2
3 Often those veterans with less than fully honorable discharges are those most in need of VA benefits. Example: veteran who self-medicates with marijuana to relieve symptoms of PTSD Example: veteran who, due to physical injury, cannot perform up to par but is accused of malingering instead of receiving proper medical treatment What is a VA Character of Discharge (or Character of Service) Determination? A determination by the VA that a servicemember s discharge was honorable or dishonorable for VA purposes. If granted favorable COD: Eligible for all benefits except GI Bill Does not constitute a discharge upgrade Does not change discharge certificate (DD 214) Governing Regulation: 38 C.F.R Statutory bars: 38 CFR 3.12 AWOL > 180 days unless mitigated; general court martial; discharge in lieu of court martial; resignation by officer; deserter. Discretionary factors: 38 CFR 3.12(d) Offense involving moral turpitude Willful and persistent misconduct Length of service and other periods of service Mitigating circumstances Insanity exception 3
4 Bar to Veteran Status: AWOL AWOL most common of these bars; luckily, it is conditional bar. Factors considered w/ AWOL: compelling circumstances to warrant the prolonged unauthorized absence Length & character of service was it generally honest, faithful, and meritorious? Reasons for going AWOL take into account age, cultural background, educational level and judgmental maturity. Also look at hardship or suffering caused by overseas/combat service. Bar to Veteran Status: Moral Turpitude What constitutes moral turpitude? includes, generally, conviction of a felony (38 CFR 3.12(d)(3)) Bar to Veteran Status: Willful and Persistent Misconduct Willful Misconduct "an act involving conscious wrongdoing or known prohibited action," and "will not be determinative unless it is the proximate cause of injury or death." Mere reckless behavior is not willful misconduct 4
5 Bar to Veteran Status: Willful and Persistent Misconduct (2) What constitutes willful & persistent misconduct? Answer is somewhat nebulous. VA lacks clear guidance here. Will not be found W&P if: minor offense otherwise meritorious service (38 USC 5303) Mitigation Mitigating circumstances: Family problems? Health problems? Maturity of client? Re: length of service how much of contract was fulfilled? Prior periods of hon. service? Character of Discharge Determination Procedures Same procedures as other VA claims, worse delays COD determinations not considered a rating activity, so takes even longer now (as most ROs have pulled staff to focus primarily on rating activities in order to clear out backlog) Submit a separate brief Generally easier to get a favorable character of discharge determination than to upgrade a discharge. 5
6 COD Procedures (2) Legal work required for COD almost identical to work required for DU Evidence required is the same Minus need for positive post-service history Some veterans have loser upgrade cases, but excellent COD cases (i.e. vet w/ criminal record post-service) Great cases for lawyers, because they can be two-for-one! Briefs almost identical How to Get in the Door Accessing VA Services If not granted favorable COD, retain eligibility for: Health care for service-connected disabilities Counseling at Vet Center Combat veterans 6
7 Accessing VA Health Care If bad paper + no favorable COD, may receive health care for serviceconnected conditions only! What s supposed to happen: VA admissions & eligibility staff to fill out VA Form 7131 (Exchange of Beneficiary Information and Request for Administrative and Adjudicative Action), forward to RO to request determination put in pending verification status See VA Fact Sheet IB What actually happens (often): VA admissions & eligibility staff turn away veterans with bad paper Vets are simply told they are ineligible--unacceptable response! Why? Because they may be unaware of proper procedure and legal requirements. Remedy? Advocate and educate! Instruct veteran to bring copy of VA Fact Sheet with her/him when seeking medical services. Accompany vet to medical center to advocate Resources Self-help Memos on DU & VA matters: Free CLEs in discharge review and veterans benefits law: search for advocating for veterans in pro bono section Includes sample briefs and other training materials Learn more about Swords Bad Paper campaign: 7
