Re: malpractice?
It depends on what type of discharge he received. If he received a bad discharge, it may deprive him of his VA benefits. If he is eligible for VA benefits, you would have to show that the bi-polar existed at the time he was on active duty. We might be able to change the nature of his discharge and/or get benefits for him.
