I had a stepson whom I continued to support (he's now 22) after I divorced his father. I took sole custody and the Army supported him for 15 years... Everything was fine until I had to deal with the VA after I transferred my GI Bill benefits to him in 2010. Please read and sign my petition. I really need help!

Signed. What a selfless person you are to give your stepson from a PREVIOUS marriage your GI Bill.

Thanks :) He is the center of my universe for sure! I love him just the same as any other mother loves the children she gave birth to...

I am sick of a heavy-handed VA disputing a claimants case. Those 9-4:30ers have what they need. Best wishes with the VA and will check out your petition.
