Can i use voc rehab and gi bill

I want to major in gaming design. Thank you in advance. If you feel that what they are telling you may be false, ask them from documented proof. If they cannot furnish such proof, it is more than likely that they are lying to you. Good hunting. Is it possible to stop the gi bill and use voc rehab. I am a junior pursuing my undergraduate degree and I want to go to law school after. Is there any way possible to work it to where the VA whether it be GI bill or voc rehab pays for all of this?

Any help is better than no help please respond thank you. Jason and Daniel, I have emailed both of your questions to Ben. You should hear back from him. I have seen that I am now eligible for the chap 33 subsistence rates without giving up my chap 31 benies. My problem is that I am not sure how to get the higher rate. Am I doing it right? My voc rehab councilor has been relatively unhelpful or does not know. Thanks for your help and service.

Use this map to find your regional office, and ask for the number for the regional education office. Ask them. Sorry that I cannot find any information to help on this. I was an MP and currently a police officer. We have recently had a large influx of Somolians and middle easterners in my town of I cannot stand dealing with these people again and I assume this is due partially to my PTSD somehow. Just to mae sure I understand this right.

I can get Voc Rehab if approved, and they may send me to college. Is there any health insurance available for my family if I enter Voc Rehab? Unfortunately no, there is not a health insurance program specifically for veterans and their families using voc rehab. I need to know if I will be able to have a salary while going to school.

I need to know if VOC Rehab will be able to help me out. With all due respect, the VA is not here to pay your bills. They do not owe us! Sam, the price of freedom for our nation is incalculable and many of us sacrificed our share to provide it for all. Anything of value we earn, we are certainly entitled too. No one gave him this benefit, it was earned.

If you own a home with a mortgage the bank actually owns it until you pay it back, are you entitled to live there if you pay your mortgage on time? Its a contract that the bank must honor. GI Bill is also a contract that must be fulfilled. You are a complete douchebag. I bet you are or will collect Social Security when your time comes as if you are entitled to it. It, like the GI bill is a contract made between us and the government that must be honored.

It is not a privilege as you imply. Do you really want to make asinine comparisons just to prove how unhappy you are with your pitiful life. Miserable people make people miserable.

Crawl back in your hole. I am personally in this situation. Unfortunately that is just not reality. I work a part time job, but also take out federal student loans. Combining the GI Bill, student loans, and a part time job, is simply the only way I have found to pay bills. A similar path could be an option for you. Remember that colleges often offer scholarships and grants to those with financial need. They do not take your veterans education benefits into account before assessing financial need.

Additionally, if you wish to keep student loan amounts as low as possible, you can always decrease the amount awarded. You only ever have to accept the amount you need, not the amount they award you. Failure to abide by the rules will constitute paying back benefits.

I have been using my post gi bill to pursue a degree in nursing. I have 22 months left of the gi bill. I would like to pursue a bachelors degree but will not have enough benefits left after I use all my post gi bill.

Also, since I am pursuing nursing am I able for voc rehab? I paid int the gi bill and received a general under honorable discharge.. I lost my education benefits although I paid into them fully.. I have 48 months of voc rehab.. Understand that with Voc rehab I have the ability to draw a stipend for living expenses due to the fact training is not offered in my state..

In total they allow a sum of 48 months no matter what.. How long does it take to get retroactive disability compensation? Here are the steps that I used. Log into eBenefits 2. There is no reason why the system should show 12 months and 12 days left. I hope that Benjamin Krause or someone with experience will answer our specific concern. Our concern differs from the general concern of the original post.

Great article Ben. Is there an answer to the above question from Brad Herron, Oct 30, at pm? I have the same concern. Dennis, Based on the information you have given, I would say that you have up to 46 months of paid benefit time available for use prior to May 12 years after your May date.

Other factors are considered as well, such as a viable program time frame to complete the training. This time may or may not be 46 months. I sent my Disability Compensation and Disability Pension request in with all my records…. Lara, Your question has nothing to do with Voc Rehab so this blog would be the wrong plass to get an answer, however I can hope to point you in the correct direction.

Do you have an Advocate that is representing you and your case to the VA? If not, this may be a good place to start. Every state in the country has veteran assistance offices that can help.
