To receive VA education benefits and services through the Montgomery GI Bill program or Post-9/11 GI Bill program, the Veteran’s character of discharge or service must be honorable.
To receive VA education benefits and services through any other VA educational benefits program, including the Survivors’ and Dependents’ Educational Assistance (DEA) program, the Veteran’s character of discharge or service must be under other than dishonorable conditions (e.g., honorable, under honorable conditions, general).
Most veterans today are going to come under the Montgomery or Post 9/11 GI Bill, meaning no benefits unless you have a straight out honorable discharge.
Hello, friends. To put simply I was chaptered in 2011 after three years of service after being arrested for a DWI. Other than that my record was clean and has been clean since. I also receive 70% service connection for psychiatric issues that began to manifest during my deployment and receive mental healthcare at the VA.
So my question, given the factors involved is it still possible to apply and recieve the G.I. Bill?
What type of discharge is required to qualify for the Post-9/11 GI Bill?
Normally, an HONORABLE discharge is required to be eligible for the Post-9/11 GI Bill. However the following types of discharge may also qualify you for the Post-9/11 GI BIll:
a medical condition which preexisted service and is not service-connected
a hardship
a physical or mental condidtion not characterized as a disability and did not result from willful misconduct but did interfere with the performance of duty

Not sure why you cherry picked a piece of that. It does not cover the whole deal, like the webpage does.
It is cherry picked. You pulled one piece out of a very long list of things to support your point. While other parts may refute your point.
It's not cherry picked. It's what I found when I googled it. I don't look at a variety of options and pick the one that best fits what I'm trying to get across. I expect the VA web site to provide accurate information.
