Q: My drivers license has been suspended for Child Support.
I am disabled due to combat injuries from Iraq and unable to work. I get disability from the VA and it is my only source of income. Can I get my license back?
A:
Quite possibly. Talk to your attorney and also your benefits manager to see if there are any dependency benefits available to help support your child. https://www.va.gov/opa/publications/benefits_book.asp
