Question:

I was in the military for a hundred eighty days and I was just getting ready to deploy until I was knocked down and hurt my back injured myself and so they discharged me and told me not to come back.  Am I entitled to benefits or not?  I need to know this because you know I went through all the procedures until I was getting ready to deploy.  Please can you help me??my number is 479-244-0766

I think that you should gather what paperwork you may have from your time in the military and head over to a VFW or DAV veterans service officer and ask them to have a look. You don't provide enough detail in your story for me to begin to understand just what may have happened.
