Hello everyone. I've posted a couple of times on Hadit since 2008. My diability claim was initially denied in 2009, but more than five years later, my appeal is complete and I was rated at 50% for both moderately severe pes planus and moderate asthma. During this time, I have completed a B.S. and will have completed an M.S. this May, both in the fields of biological science. I've used up my GI Bill benefits; I had 14 days of benefits remaining at the beginning of this semester (January) so I received full tuition as well as BAH for the remainder of the semester, which means I will have used 40 months of benefits total.
My appeal was only just completed last month, but as soon as I had my rating I applied for VRE. I have my orientation and first meeting coming up in just under 3 weeks. I'd like to use VRE toward medical education (I've been accepted to medical school). I'm currently trying to familiarze myself with the regulations for this benefit since I've read that some counselors can be adversarial. Does anyone have any tips for my first meeting to improve my chances of being approved for the program?
