dondo747 Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 I've had 30 % rating since 1973. If I apply for Voc Rehab, can they open my file and possibly reduce my rating because of my asking for Voc Rehab? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dondo747 Posted September 22, 2010 Author Share Posted September 22, 2010 dondo, What disability is your 30 % SC for ? Do you know what Diagnostic Code it is rated under ? If not, this is a question the 1-800-827-1000 people can usually answer accurately, so try to find out and post it. Thanks. I don't know the code, but I will call that number and post it when I find out. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dondo747 Posted September 22, 2010 Author Share Posted September 22, 2010 Voc rehab is training to over come a rating. Unless you do voc rehab and go from TDIU to working there should be no change. Your rating is protected. Are you able to work. Voc rehab also has a little used or know program that allows VA to help you enjoy a better quality of life. I've been working at various jobs for almost all the past 37 years. Railroad, State of AZ, phone company, State of Florida. My wife is pretty much a nomad.

dondo747 Posted September 22, 2010 Author Share Posted September 22, 2010 I have an appointment with a Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor for October. I'm in a low level job right now and want to finish my college degree requirements, and so I applied for Voc Rehab. The paperwork from the VA requested a lot of information, which made me a little apprehensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
