Does it depend on how long you've been in the millitary before you get benefits
He has to go to the dentist to get his teeth fix.
he claims that millitary would not pay for it.
He's been there for about 5 years
He even gets a VA check.
So shouldn't he see a dentist on base
Wouldn't the millitary give him a percentage to pay regardless of how long he was in the millitary

With only 5 years he is due no medical benefits unless it is under the VA due to an injury. He needed to do at least 20.

No, you have to serve atleast 20 years to retire.
If you serve less than that, you can now qualify for VA medicial care.
But the VA only offers dental for service connected injuries or for pows.
You can buy dental insurance for $8.00 a month from any insurance company.
Ig America paid every veteran a partial pension, based on the number of years they served, America would be broke.
There are 24 million living veterans in the US right now.

If he retired after 20 years they military no longer gives free dental care. He must pay a small fee for Dental Dental plan to offset the cost, I'm going through the same thing.

If he's retired he had to serve at least 20 years. Then he is eligible for Tricare For Life. Our medical program. BUT, Tricare is ONLY medical, there is NO dental. No matter what he is going to have to pay his dental bill on his own. Sorry, just the facts.

My fiancee's ex lady chum became into in a similar subject you're in some years returned. She (unknown to my boo or his mom, who became into married to his father) ended up "kissing" his father. Now, 5 years later, father and son nevertheless have unresolved subject concerns. and mom and pa are in a depressing relationship because of the fact they desperate to stay together for some unknown reason. Even I, new to the kin, can no longer help yet have not ordinary thoughts in direction of my quickly-to-be better half's father for even thinking approximately cheating on his spouse along with his son's lady chum. it is unwell that he could even evaluate it. i assume what i'm asserting is your lust for this "guy" (in case you could call him that, a real guy does no longer cheat on his spouse) isn't well worth screwing up actually an entire kin for plenty longer than you think of it's going to result them. think of roughly that. Be clever. Do the full kin and your karma a desire and ruin up with "Joe". you're no longer an animal, you do have administration over your hormones. you do unlike him besides in case you're thinkin approximately doin his dad. And in case you reside with him the temptation could get too uncontrolled so you might take care of. Pray for potential against temptation (Thou shalt no longer dedicate adultery is between the suitable ten sins) and get rid of your self remote from it earlier you relatively screw up something you could no longer restoration.

No. The VA is a government bureaucracy. They have all kinds of rules and regulations. Benefits are not automatic.

No, benefits are not automatic and 5 years isn't going to do it, you need at least 20!

if he wanted benefits after he got out, he should have stayed in for 20+ years. You get nothing for under that.
