VETERANS


LASC helps people with their legal problems in a variety of ways, such as legal information, advice, or representation. LASC’s Veterans Team gives advice and representation to clients with issues like:

  • Applications to upgrade or correct a DD 214
  • Appealing an overpayment
  • Repaying VA home loans
  • Appealing a “red flag” restriction from the Columbus VA Medical Center

People can often handle common veterans’ issues on their own with legal information. Visit the Resource Center for information on VA overpayments, discharge upgrades, and our report on the disparities in grant rates for discharge upgrade applications based on racial trauma.


LASC may be able to represent you if: 


  • You got a letter from the VA saying you owe them money
  • You get a letter from the Columbus VA Medical Center saying that you are disruptive and will need a police escort or will be banned from the medical center
  • You have an other than honorable discharge or lower and would like to get VA benefits
