I'll urge my brother Ron to pursue that avenue of research about my brother's discharge. My brother Ron is the impressive one here, he has been caretaking for Jeff about a decade now. At first my mom did it, then she passed away and my sister took over Jeff's guardianship. When she married and moved out of state to Wisconsin my brother Ron took over. Ron isn't without financial resources and he has a keen analytical mind when it comes to numbers, finances and law. Ron is the one who has gotten Jeff into financial service assistance and helped Jeff connect with the VA Medical Center at American Lake.
Unfortunately the Doctors at American Lake are unable to help Jeff further because Jeff refuses to follow their instructions. Ron also feels Jeff's first two doctors were unhelpful anyway, the first one only wanted to play chess with Jeff! (Ron was there, he saw this!). Ron's next move is to take Jeff to Ron's own civilian Mental Health Specialist. Our hopes are that this new civilian Doctor can direct us better. Ron is aware that I am doing this bit of research here in the Vet's forum of DU-he said it couldn't hurt to ask and as you can see, we have had some great/helpful responses.
