ptsd Iu And Voc Rehab

[witchhouse]

If I get my 100% PTSD or IU can I get voc rehab. I am unemployable because I can not deal with people I have random outbursts of Rage. I would like to go to school and learn Computer programming this is something I could do at home and more than likely become employable again. There are courses at a State school that has the courses online. Would this be allowed as I am not employable now in the workplace but I believe I could be productive from my home with some education. I really don't want to retire I would like to become Gainfully employed.

Thanks in advance

Really? Will Voc Rehab pay for an advanced degree? I thought they'd only pay through a bachelors.

I've dreamed of being a pharmacist, but coming up w/ the money for school is beyond me...

I believe the reg says post-secondary. That doesn't exclude a Pharm D, here's the procedure from the M28 Voc Rehab manual sec. 202

c. Educational and Vocational Training Services. Educational and vocational training services may be provided through a variety of resources to meet the needs of the individual veteran. Careful review of available approved resources must be made in selecting the appropriate source of services for a specific veteran. Case managers must be aware of the various ways by which a service may be provided so that maximum benefit to the veteran will be attained. Specific steps for approval of different types of education and vocational training services are listed in subparagraphs (1) through (9) below. The finding made as to facilities and courses will be incorporated in the plan.

I just talked to a CPT in the Army who being medically discharged with 9 years for injuries in a parachute accident. I believe VA will pay to send him to law school. I have a call in to a Voc Rehab person at VACO. I'll let you know what she says.

parachuting is an instrumentality of war so can this captain get disability retirement from the service and his separate VA disability?

[Guest DON20906]

He's being medically discharged, not retired, so CRSC does not apply here.
