    Tried to use it and they make it more of a hassle than it's worth. The councilor scheduled a video appointment with me and I bought a web cam so I could do it in my office. She never showed and so I emailed her and she said something about needing some paperwork from me before we could meet remotely. I have bills to pay and don't have time to jump through hoops so I'm doing Lyft now to support my family until I find something more stable. I'm a combat veteran who almost died in combat and I'm a hundred percent so if they can't help me I don't know who they're helping. It's frustrating but I'm sick of begging for help it's depressing and makes me feel pathetic and worthless.

      Don’t give up! Go try again because these benefits are for you! It shouldn’t be a hassle! That’s why I’m here looking for information because even my advisor i been working with for years be answering emails very late and very vague and he’s no help half the time.

      Dude it’s literally simple. You letting your own emotions get in the way is your own downfall don’t go blaming them just yet. I say “just yet” cus you quit before any actual issue came up. Print off the paperwork they require you to sign and fill out then email back to them and take the cognitive test on a computer they sent a link to on email and then they’ll have your meeting done as needed

    Thank you for the detailed information. I have a question regarding the “48 Month Rule”. Some years ago I used 5.5 months of my GI bill benefits, then I transferred 30 months to my dependents. So I have approximately 17 days remaining. I was just found entitled for VR&E however, VRC said “I could only receive 12 months of benefits”. Based on my situation and current guidance, is my VRCs statement agree with current guidance?

    I have looked all over the M28C online and done searches via google to find info on how the VR&E Ch 31 claims should handle terminally ill veterans, or veterans w/ALS. Priority processing of patients whose C File is flagged ALS does not exist in the VR&E program. Is that true? If not, what citations are there for this?

      VR&E doesnt have education track. The long term track which might include education can match BAH if you have GIBILL entitlement available.

      If you're disabled, i believe vr&e will still pay you like g.i. bill does whether youre passed a decade with g.i. bill.
      Vr%e ahould be different than g.i. bill somewhat
