  Trying to help out a disabled veteran So my neighbor is an older gentleman who is on full disability from the marines. His health has been on a decline as of late and the aid that the VA assigned him isn't showing up half the time. I know he has the resources to take care of that, however he has reduced mobility and could really use help keeping his home tidy. I would do it myself but his kitchen is so bad being in there started to make my throat close up. Does anyone have any resources for getting a cleaning service out for free? I tried the local VA but they don't answer their phone.. thanks in advance!

  Good morning everyone! Does anyone know where I can find out all the benifits that come along with buying a home for the first time for veterans who are 100% p and t and have a Purple Heart. I know in our state we don't have to pay property tax. Thanks in advance!

  

  Veteran C. replied:

  There are differing state guidelines and certain private mortgage companies offer assistance. The VA also has guidelines on their VA.gov website. MOPH can also offer guidance related to Purple Heart.

  Rachael C. asked:

  Does anyone know of or own a floral shop in the area? My husband passed very unexpected on the 10th and I'm trying to hold a memorial service for him and very little to no money and I was wondering if anyone knew of anywhere that might donate a couple flower arrangements for his service. He was a army veteran who became disabled while on active duty. Any information would be greatly appriciated

  

  Chad F. replied:

  What kind of rep? On the VA.gov site there is a plethora of reps for various needs. I believe there is a regional center in Covina or ElMonte.

  Richard J. asked:

  Looking for some advise here...As Im new to ALR, I dont know how many Vets are in the group with any info on this. Im seeing more issues as the years go by. One being PTSD, as well as my hearing issues, and now noticing the cartilage is completely broken down in my knees and elbows from years of climbing all over tanks and helicopters on the rough CARC paint. Ive never been to the VA, or tried to access any benefits......Whats the first step? Do I just call the VA for an appointment? Or do I talk to someone with Wright County Vets services first? Will anyone have access to my medical records from when I was active duty? Sorry if these questions may be common sense.....I just want to start the process right in dealing with government. Thanks all for any input.

  

  Thomas G. replied:

  You need to make an appt. with the Wright County Service Advisor and discuss this. You might also contact the area DAV and have them help you apply for VA Disability Compensation. You can also do some of your own leg work by going on the internet and go to the U. S. Dept. of Veterans Affairs website at www.va.gov/. You might also talk to the commander at the Clearwater Legion. Good luck!

  Go to www.VA.gov, search Agent Orange screening. There is a toll free number to request a screening. They give you a fairly good physical.

  Rob K. asked:

  Does anyone know of a web site where we can find veterans benefits for vet's of our era? Mine would be March 1981-July 1986. Seems to me there was a big lull (in respect) for veterans of those years from end of Vietnam era 77? to start of Persian Gulf 91?. Anyone else feel like a second class Veteran? Does my family at least get a flag when I die or is that gone too?

  

  Kevin H. replied:

  Rob Keller I am the Sullivan County Veteran Service Officer in IN. There VA benefits for you. If you go to va.gov you can see all of them. Yes you are eligible for Flag plus more. If you have any question you can give me a call at 812-268-5437.
