Will accepting a Pell grant reduce my va pension?

[sharon]

38 CFR 3.272 Excludable Income

(i) Educational expenses. Amounts equal to expenses paid by a

veteran or surviving spouse pursuing a course of education or vocational

rehabilitation or training, to include amounts paid for tuition, fees,

books, and materials, and in the case of a veteran or surviving spouse

in need of regular aid and attendance, unreimbursed amounts paid for

unusual transportation expenses in connection with the pursuit of such

course. Unusual transportation expenses are those exceeding the

reasonable expenses which would have been incurred by a nondisabled

person using an appropriate means of transportation (public

transportation, if reasonably available).

Thanks Sharon but in plain English a Pell Grant would not affect a VA Pension.
