Qualifications for Voc Rehab

Rate this question


Mike Jones

Question

Veterans are eligible if they:

  • Have received a discharge that is other than dishonorable
  • Have a service-connected disability rating of at least 10% from VA
  • Apply for VR&E services

Basic period of Eligibility

The basic period of eligibility ends 12 years from the date of notification of one of the following:

  • Date of separation from active military service, or
  • Date the veteran was first notified by VA of a service-connected disability rating.

The basic period of eligibility may be extended if a Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor (VRC) determines that a Veteran has a Serious Employment Handicap

I need help.  Above are the qualifications that I pulled off of e-benefits on the VA website. I was told by my adviser that my income played a part in voc rehab eligibility.  I actually had to bring in my income tax form but when I look at the eligibility requirement no where in the requirements do I see were eligibility is based on income.  Can someone tell me if income plays a part or if I am getting the run around?

I have seen a few places where they say that your income doesn't matter.  I would say if you have no problem maintaining a higher education employment position, they could do a double take on the need for this program, however, if you are working 8-5 at a dead end job even with a service connected disability, they should not deny you this benefit.

Some folks have used VR&E to complete PHD's.
