You go and sign in at the nearest VA clinic or Hospital- take any paperwork you have on injuries, service, etc. They will probably do a physical and then set down with you. You might talk to one of the Vet groups to act for you with the paperwork.

We need help our fellow brothers and don't leave nobody behind. Follow the instructions of SGM Frazer. Don't go back, keep pushing.

Apply at your local VA. Combat isn't required to get your injuries examined at the VA hospital. Follow the same procedure as combat vets... As long as you served and became injured while doing so, you qualify.
Best wishes and good luck.

Have your paperwork reviewed by a DAV rep. Can answer a lot of your questions. VA math is confusing. There are 3 different departments within the VA and you need to enroll in them all. They do not talk to each other.

I went to my county VA rep and they helped me.
depending on what it is you might also have to get a lawyer but hopefully not.
Take care and God bless
