bPA2024 Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 I was curious if anyone has recently used Army VR&E program to go to PA school. I just had an online initial counselling session, and I was deemed unqualified because of my undergrad degree. Counselor told me that I was suitable to find an Employement and hence did not qualify to attend PA schoo using VR&El. I told him that I was already accepted to PA school and have everything lined up. His response was it did not meant anything as I was not qualified. I am thinking about appeaingl the decision. Any suggestions or thoughts on this matter would be appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDIowa Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 (edited) I don't think that is right. I believe you've been given bad information but I don't have the sources to back that up. I work in Compensation and Pension at the VA. I had a young man who came off active duty and attended West Point. He was injured severely in the Army and medical boarded. He told me he was in Pharmacy School using the VR&E program. I would drop by your local US Congressman's office and get the definitive answer. They love solving a problem like this.

TheFatMan Posted January 13, 2022 Share Posted January 13, 2022 I use VR&E and this doesn't seem correct. I'd try to reach out to another counselor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmandaL Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 I sent in my application for the VR&E program.. how long did the process take to get approved for y'all? and what were you able to get covered? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmandaL Posted August 20, 2022 Share Posted August 20, 2022 Hey all! I am a current student at U of Washington using Vocational rehab, I got approved and started school already. If you have any questions about vocational rehab, feel free to send me a PM! Ill start out by saying vocational rehab is definitely more work than the GI bill, but its worth it. they've paid my tuition, given me BAH, bought my otoscope, stethoscope and a laptop package!
