trez,

hi...i don't know anything about the voc rehab issues...sorry. but i'm sure there are plenty of folks on here who do.

but as far as tricare....no, vets are not eligible for tricare as that is a program for retirees and their families. since you are 100%, if you have dependants...they should be eligible for ChampVA. my sons have that....it's been good as i can take them to whatever doc i want to without any pre-approval!

best of luck!

If Voc Rehab determines that the Masters would lead to employment than the answer is yes. Hard to get Voc Rehab to pull the trigger on that one though.

How old are you and it worth it from an economic viewpoint to get a MA? This is probably what the VA will wonder. If you are a young guy the VA might go along with it. If you are over 55 then I doubt it. They don't want to spend money training you if you have only a short potential work life ahead of you. Remember, the VA is only thinking about cost and not your welfare.

I agree with Pete and John on this. They look at how much bang for their buck will they get in return, in addition to your age and medical condition(s). Additionally, all the OIF and OEF vets that are returning... the Voc. Rehab. Dept. here(St. Pete,Fla.) is not fooling with Vietnam Vets too much. Though they do have a "Job Readiness Program" in place that anyone could teach. At one point they made it a requirement(sign up), for Domicillary Admission.

Some,mmmm was helpful, i wont knock it all ,but i believe it was put in place for compliance purposes. Just my take..William
