If a service member receives an Honorable, Medical, or Administrative Discharge from the service they should be able to receive VA medical treatment if needed. If the Administrative Discharge was the result of NJP or Court Marshal, then their eligibility should be put before a board to examine the circumstances. This board should be making a decision to remove their eligibility, not grant it. The decision from this board should also be made prior to their discharge date.
There should be no income based deduction of retirement pay or disability benefits for any reason or percentage of disability.
Additionally, members should be automatically reviewed for their benefits at eighteen months prior to the end of their contract. Members that sign a contract that takes them to 20 years or more of service should be reviewed at 18 years of service. Then, upon submitting their application for retirement, or discharge, should have their record reviewed again. Upon completion, they should be automatically enrolled with a start date matching the End of Active Service date on their DD214.
For members who are medically discharged or retired, their enrollment should be completed and active as above, with the review process expedited to meet their EAOS.
