C&P is Compensation and Pension for anyone qualifying for disability benefits.
A case file would be what your local Veteran Affairs Services Office would open for you.
A C-File contains all your medical and military records.
It would be worth the drive for you to make at least one trip to get that started. You might not have to make future trips after. And, based on your disability rating, your travel may be reimbursed.
However, if you're dealing with the possibility of a dishonorable discharge, that could be a problem for you. I would say:
1) don't give up until you know your discharge rating
2) at least get a file started in Roanoke.
3) Apply with VR
4) Apply with SSDI to get some benefits that may help with HAs. SSDI goes a long way for disabled veterans. From one government agency to another.
Anyways .. I suspect there's a lot more to this story than you are sharing, so I'll stop now. I was only trying to help because I have experience in this area.
