tdiu Searching For Answers

[Deacon 2011]

Hi All... I am TDIU P&T and receive SSDI. I want to take some classes in the area of divinity, for my personal knowledge; I have Post 9/11 GI Bill benefits available... I've searched Hadit and other sites for answers but have still been unable to find "direct" answers as to whether or not I can take classes without any headaches.

Not sure what to do, any help is appreciated.

You should be able to take classes w/o any trouble. The ability to successfully attend some classes does not equate into the ability to work 40 hrs a wk.

I don't think your problem will be going to school as much as the fact that the VA will object to paying for it since you are rated TDIU which means you are not employable, and educational benefits are usually meant to learn so the veteran will be able to get a job based on that education, since you will not become employable they will view it as a waste of resources.

Myu ex son in laws father was going to school to become a teacher when he had a heart attack and bypass surgery and was granted TDIU, and they forced him to drop his chapter 31 benefits thru Voc Rehab, he was mad about it, but they told him they weren't paying for it when it would never benefit him.

Good luck maybe in your case they will look at it as a hobby

Thanks for your responses, I just wanted to take some classes for my own edification on biblical history. Perhaps this is not the way to go, I didn't want to lose the benefits I've earned but I don't want to lose any just because I desire to know more on a particular subject.
