I have repeatedly tried to sign my Dad up for Veteran Health Benefits. No one seems to really care that much or understand the urgency of my issues. Everything takes time to process. Now I am trying to find how to get a copy of his DD214. I am running out of time...my Dad is unable to speak and has a very hard time caring for himself. When he signed up for World War II everything was processed pretty fast. Now years later when he definitely needs their assistance its as though he is only a number.

I hope someone can help me learn how to accomplish this task.

Have you done to the local Veteran's Administration Office and asked for their help on this? They can assist you in getting the DD214 that you need.

Yes, your local VA office, also check out a local VFW or American Legion, many have a member who is assigned to assist in such matters.

But I will say that getting things though and from the government just does take time. and while you do realise this now, alot needed to be done before it was needed.
You may want to make sure you have his POWER of ATTORNEY, to sign and get things for him, if he is not able to in the future.
