Talk too him in a calm AND gentle way, and tell him about the VET Centers that are opened in ALL States...there should be one near or in the city where you live...IF he wants to talk too someone, tell him that the counselors there that will help...EVEN on EMERGENCY NOTICE...I know because I have been at one for the last 6 yrs...PTSD.
NOTE: HIS mental health should come first and get him what he needs, the ONLY thing he has to present is his DD-214 or MILITARY ID!!! The money can come later but first he needs to go through this counseling foremost AND THEN he can handle the hassle of getting his benefits...
Will pray for BOTH of you...you are a good friend to be worried...Thank you, from a Veteran!!!
