United States – October 29, 2026 -- Veterans with an Other Than Honorable, Bad Conduct or Dishonorable discharge can still have a VA claim reviewed, and many of them skip filing because they assume the door is closed.

Honorable and General discharges skip this process entirely

Under 38 C.F.R. § 3.12(a), a discharge under honorable conditions, meaning Honorable or General, is binding on VA. There is nothing to review. The character of discharge determination applies only to Other Than Honorable, Bad Conduct and Dishonorable discharges.

United States – October 29, 2026 -- Before you hand your VA disability file to a lawyer, seven questions can show whether that lawyer is accredited, what they may legally charge, and who will actually work your case. VA checks its own examiners, but nobody automatically checks the attorney you are about to trust with your service treatment records, DD-214 and private doctor's notes.

Accreditation is a number you can verify

Accreditation under 38 U.S.C. § 5901 is a legal status, not a website slogan. VA recognizes three tracks under 38 C.F.R. § 14.629: attorney, claims agent and VSO representative. Ask for the accreditation number, then check it against VA's Office of General Counsel accredited representative search before you sign anything.

Federal compensation is only the floor

According to VetsForever, a veteran-founded organization, each state runs its own rules and deadlines on top of the federal baseline. Depending on where you live, that can include:

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – October 29, 2026 – A securities class action notice from Rosen Law Firm says investors who bought F5, Inc. securities during a defined period may have options ahead of a October 29, 2026 court deadline.

What’s Being Announced and Who It’s For

Rosen Law Firm says a class action lawsuit has been filed on behalf of purchasers of securities of F5, Inc. (NASDAQ: FFIV) between October 29, 2026 and October 29, 2026, inclusive. The notice says people who bought during that window may be entitled to compensation without paying out-of-pocket fees or costs through a contingency fee arrangement.
