Bill Stypick, Alpena County Veterans Service Officer describes the military's efforts to reinstate benefits denied for decades to veterans that were discharged due to pregnancy, Covid shot refusal, LBGTQ under Don't Ask, Don't Tell and other reasons.  Legal assistance through the Veterans Consortium is also available on a pro bono basis but may not be needed under the recent outreach efforts of local county VA offices.   Bill says that identifying veterans that may be due benefits is the biggest challenge.
