Simple, ask for a copy of his DD-214. Look at block 18. If he was awarded disability after discharge (very possible), then ask for a copy of the award letter from the VA.
If he cannot provide proof, he shouldn't get special consideration. He can easily ask the VA for copies of any of his records. He was also given a copy at discharge.
