'Tis the Season for an Ex. Writ
Nine months and counting for that elusive greenhouse promised. I'm launching a new Writ Monday morning and then turning off my phone and computer for a week. I like watching them blow coffee through their noses. https://asknod.org/2016/06/11/cavc-graham-v-mcdonald-ii-while-my-guitar-gently-weeps/

tdiu "percent" Discrimination -- Is It An Issue For Voc Rehab?
Thanks to all the vets on this site. Information and success stories you've shared have been helpful -- especially in the two year journey to finally getting rated. I am considering a TDIU claim and possibly SSDI, but thought I should look into vocational rehab first. The question is whether counselors "write off" veterans who have high disability ratings, particularly in the mental health area. I am 90% schedular as follows: 70% Generalized Anxiety Disorder 50% Sleep Apnea 10% Lumbo-sachral strain 10% (Each) Left knee and right knee 10% Right ankle The GAD was based on several factors that would cause me to reject an applicant for a job interview if I was a…

~3 Months without Rehabilitation Plan
Hello brothers and sisters! Quick question(s) for you. At the beginning of January, I was told in an in-person interview at the VR&E office that I qualified for vocational rehabilitation. We both agreed on the standard: "Employment through Long Term Services" I was given a VA Form 28-0800, which included a list of documentation to get to my counselor. I have submitted said documentation (career profile, DD 214, daughters birth certificate, etc.) via email, as requested. However, the last progress I heard, was that my counselor was "going through the documentation, and hoping to finish it this week." This was last week. It has been roughly 4 weeks sinc…

2 years in Self-Employment Track Nightmare! Don't Try This!
2 years ago applied for Voc Rehab Entrepreneur Track with an idea for an invention. Told by Case manager day 1 "They don't train us for this benefit." No progress after 6 months/Called KY DOL Veterans Affairs for assistance. Assistant director sends me text after 3 weeks of implied help with VR&E tells me "If I give him a percentage of my patent he will get my benefit approved". 1 year mark a Congressional Inquiry uncovers Voc Rehab hasn't started my claim officially. Under the watchful eye of Senator's office Voc Rehab sends my packet to D.C. with recommendations for Cat1 approval without doing so much as an evaluation or assessment. Get's kic…

24 X 48 ILP Greenhouse
VA sent out their Voc Rehab counselor to present me with the Individualized Independent Living Plan (IILP). They chieu hoi'd and are not going to play keepaway. Seems someone in DC said "We don't want to see this at the CAVC." Full size and full hydroponics. He forbid growing pot in it though as its a federal grant. Two year plan and they pick up the propane and electricity bills during that time. All the hydroponic computer gear, 12 2000W halide lights, raised tables, storage tanks, pumps. Plumbing, wiring and propane gas utilities hooked up. Just add seeds (not included). It only took five years and a trip to the BVA. amen.

56 Months Extension
I heard and read about several cases when the so called entitlement period of 48 have been extended to 56 months. I had read about 10% SC Veterans who used 56 months of entitlements. Since I am running out of entitlements it is certainly something that I could use myself in order to try to finish my coursework. Funny enough one of the main obstacle to finish the school through that program (chap 31) is the minimum and minute substandard living allowance, which now is going to have a substantial increase in order to keep some equity with the GI Bill allowance; difficult to understand why so many have to fail for the VA to realize that such a low allowance is one of main hi…

Accepted for VOC REHAB now what?
Good morning Ladies and Gentleman. I am new to the forum and have learned a lot through the reading and examination of al these previous posts. I appreciate the help. My question is I recently went to my VOC REHAB Orientation. I was approved right away, I brought all the certifications for my line of work that I'd like to get to keep competitive in my position and also allow for it to move me into more of a managerial position which would suit my SC. I've since left 2 weeks ago and my counselor just keeps giving me a run around about talking to his supervisor about the training, one email was no they won't pay, the next was yes they would explore it but now i need an O…
