why is there no financial assistance for people in a certain wage group and with no minor dependents in the h?
I have done some research on this subject and it is very unfair in my opinion. This is what i would like to hear from you and that is your opinion. I have a friend who did 21 years of active duty military service and retired from the air force at the age of 41. He has been employed in the construction industry as metal building erector since his retirement. Three years after retirement his wife wanted and was granted a divorce along with 49% of his military retirement. He was diagnosed with colorectal cancer in Sept.07 and has underwent pre surgery radiation and chemo and had the surgery in Feb 08. He is now having post surgery chemo to help prevent the cancer from returning. This man has spent all his savings on medical treatment and other care and here is the big one.He has been denied any type of government assistanc except for ten dollars a month in food stamps and is about to be evicted from his home. What is wrong with the system or do i just not understand?

Sorry, his primary language is English, He served in the military & he’s a legal citizen of the US. All three by themselves are disqualifiers nevermind the trifactor.
Have you explored Social Security benefits and Veterans Non-service connected disability claims? I am assuming you are working as his attorney in fact. He should hire a lawyer to pursue claims on both the construction employment and the veterans administration which has only allowed attorney’s fees in VA cases for a few years. Before the fee was $50. No lawyer would work for less than the paper costs. It was a WWII thing I guess.
