Individuals who leave the military with a discharge that's less than fully honorable retain the right to upgrade their discharge even years later. The characterization of a discharge can affect the types of
benefits an individual is eligible for after military service and can also affect the kinds of jobs a former service member might be able to apply for when their military service concludes. That’s why it’s important for vets to know if they are eligible to upgrade their discharge, and how.

Mother blames VA in Navy vet's death: 'Look at what they've done' |
|
|
When Logan F. Willis was in high school, he dedicated his time to volunteering for the VA, his mother said. Years later, the same VA that Willis invested his time in, failed Willis by not giving him their time, Lori Willis Locklear said. Locklear was also
an employee of the VA for 12 years until 2023. She encouraged her only child to see a VA mental health provider — advice she said she now regrets.

VA home loans temporarily cover buyer-broker fees |
|
|
Eligible veterans, active duty service members, and surviving spouses who use the VA-guaranteed home loan benefit can now use it to pay for certain real estate buyer-broker fees when purchasing a home. The move ensures that veterans remain competitive and are
not disadvantaged in the homebuying market due to changes that may result from a key class-action settlement involving the National Association of Realtors. Until the fix was announced, veterans could not pay their buyer-broker fees when using their home loan benefits.

"The attorneys and supporting staff at Woods & Woods were extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of veteran disability claims, appeals, and congressional legislation. They kept me in the loop from beginning to end and responded to my inquiries throughout the process. I wouldn't be in the position I am in today without their guidance, support, and expertise. I am forever grateful."
