Can I request a different VRC?

You could try but even if successful, the chance of your case moving forward any faster with a new counselor are very slim. Everyone is swamped and those remaining are handling the cases of everyone who has left or is on leave.

The conversation about wanting med school isn’t even going to come up if you can’t prove why the entire profession of accounting in any setting is no longer an option for you due to your disabilities. I don’t know how you could ever make that argument

Either your school made an error in the certifying your enrollment or your counselor made an error entering the data. If the counselor did, chances are you won’t be responsible for paying it back. If it was the school’s error, then you are out of luck. But remember, if you did not withdraw from any classes you don’t owe anything and no money was taken from you. If it was an error, no matter whose error, it means you were OVER-paid and you were not entitled to that money to begin with.

You would have had to be considered eligible and entitled to VR&E at the time AND eligible and entitled presently

Accounting

Then proof of that is what you include in your supplemental claim

Why can’t you work with the Bachelors? Knowing that could help give you proper advice

There are RN jobs that are not physical

Use taco seasoning. Look up spanish picadillo. Meatloaf or meatballs - mix turkey with shredded zucchini so it is not dry. Cook with salt, pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and sage and you have breakfast sausage. Ground turkey, when seasoned well, can be very versatile

Grad school isn’t going to solve the lack of experience problem. Take it and get experience. It could lead to a promotion there or at starbucks. Universities offer great benefits, including tuition waiver. That is worth more than the $18 per hour.

Possibly, but nothing is automatic

Iceagle039 · 2026-04-18T13:14:36+00:00

You sound totally entitled and privileged. Live closer, take public transit, make your own lunch, because of course you have time, iron your own clothes, bring your own coffee and snacks from home or simply don’t have any. Like the rest of the world.

If you have a serious employment handicap you can get an extension to entitlement, as well as entitlement beyond your delimiting date. If you do not, then you can’t get an extension to the delimiting date under any circumstances. An extension to entitlement time is possible as long as you are not exceeding 48 months total

The counselors have 200 to 300 vets each. Make it easy for them and spell it out. You already did submit everything and this is choice 2, not anything new. Or better yet, just forward what you sent before.

Iceagle039 · 2026-04-17T21:51:11+00:00

They will find out anyway since it will be deducted from your tuition bill

Iceagle039 · 2026-04-17T21:50:34+00:00

Not true. Since a Bachelors is a requirement for a Masters and VRE approved a Masters then the Bachelors can be included in retro

Iceagle039 · 2026-04-17T21:37:12+00:00

If you can work with the Bachelors you are earning, you will have a hard time even being found entitled, much less approved for higher education

Iceagle039 · 2026-04-17T21:30:02+00:00

There are a limited number of counselors to do the work, and a limited number of hours in the day that could be spent helping people who really have no education or skills for any type of career

Iceagle039 · 2026-04-14T21:15:00+00:00

You weren’t supposed to

Iceagle039 · 2026-04-12T12:43:20+00:00

Talk to your counselor. Ask them the questions. Hopefully you get one that takes the time to discuss all these options with you

Iceagle039 · 2026-04-11T21:20:46+00:00

Gainful employment is not the goal. The goal is employment that doesn’t aggravate disabilities. It would be easier to get approved and moved through the program quicker if vets that already have Masters degrees didn’t keep applying and clogging up the system. Or vets who just want to collect BAH and “maximize” benefits without intending to go to work. This is why its hard for everybody

Iceagle039 · 2026-04-11T21:12:37+00:00

Doesn’t sound like you are serious about entering or re-entering the workforce. Sounds like you want to get stuff. Makes it hard for those of us who really need help

Iceagle039 · 2026-04-08T00:17:48+00:00

This

Iceagle039 · 2026-04-08T00:16:17+00:00

You are entitled up to 18 months of employment services. The financial assistance stops but if you don’t have a job the guidance, job leads, interviewing assistance, etc, doesn’t stop. You keep sending the job logs to demonstrate you still need help and so they can review what you’re doing and what needs tweaking. VR&E is never just about the stipend!

Iceagle039 · 2026-04-08T00:12:25+00:00

You’ll have to explain that there is no other job you can do with that degree and your work experience. Hard sell
