About the Program: VA statistics indicate that approximately 10 out of every 17 Veteran suicides occur among Veterans who are not involved in VHA services. Since 1980, there have been approximately 575,000 Other Than Honorable (OTH) discharges from the military and 125,000 have occurred since 9/11. These “bad paper” discharges can result in a loss of many benefits, including VHA medical care. However, many Veterans who believe they are ineligible for VA services, may in fact be eligible for care. This presentation will illustrate multiple avenues for Veterans to obtain VHA health care services, which may, in turn, help to reduce the Veteran suicide rate.
