Wow...no...no they don't. They generally get kicked to the curb and have to fight tooth and nail for any of the benefits they were promised while in the service. Support for soldiers and families transitioning out of the military is spotty at best and many people aren't even aware of the services available to them. Jobs are difficult to get for prior service AND their spouses because work history is usually all over the place and/or spotty, due to the military's stationing requirements. It's even worse for soldiers who got out before being in long enough to retire because they have no retirement benefits and their spouses/family won't have any kind of health care. And the prior soldier may not be able to get any kind of VA health care.

GI Bill is one of the very few exceptions, and I will admit that it is a VERY nice thing to have. The soldiers do have to pay into it while in the service, however, so it's not entirely "free", but the payout they get is well above what they paid in, so it's absolutely a major bonus.

All the more reason you should take the help. schizophrenia is a disease of the brain and there is currently no cure. I intern right next to a mental hospital and the number of people who look too sick to even benefit from extra money is astounding. they are just that gone- they would need someone to spend the money on services for them.

It's not your fault you are disabled. If it was me I would accept my disability and the money without shame and plan for the future.

Personally, I'm tired of seeing people or children apply for SSI who are capable of working and haven't paid into the system at all. This is not directly related to you, it's something I see often and honestly it makes me angry.

People sign their kid up for SSI because it has Asthma. ASTHMA? Really?

Leave it for the people who truly need it.

depends on the asthma. I don't think you could know if a person truly needed it for asthma by looking at them. this is why the people who decide who truly need it should know about asthma.

"Approximately half of persons with asthma in the United States reported having an asthma attack in the preceding 12 months. Those who had attacks had a higher proportion of missed school or work days, emergency department and urgent care visits, and reported fair or poor health. A greater percentage of persons with asthma reported having health-care insurance than persons without asthma. However, among persons with asthma, more of the uninsured were unable to buy prescription medication (40%) vs ~11%) and fewer reported seeing or talking to a specialist or primary care physician about their asthma. This is a particular concern, given the value of inhaled corticosteroids in the management of adults and children with persistent asthma."

do you need help...?

If they truly need it then that is fine. But I guess I just become very suspicious when a doctor feels that all 4, 5, 6, etc of someone's children should be receiving SSI. I often just say a prayer for that person because I cannot imagine the stress and sadness of having to single parent 4+ children all with a disability.

ETA: And I do know that Asthma is a very serious condition. I know this sweet little 3 year old who spends most of his life at the hospital because of breathing issues. Perhaps that was a bad example. How about ADHD?
