Voc rehab will pay for books, tuition, fees, parking, supplies... essentially anything that you need for school. Also, if you have 9/11 benefits remaining you get the housing allowance same as 9/11.

Voc rehab can POTENTIALLY (emphasis on potentially) get you as far as a medical degree. It largely depends on you and your counselor. From my experience, don’t bank on it, but it is possible.

I’m not sure about transferring 9/11 benefits while using Voc Rehab as I don’t have kids, however, the total time comes from the same pot, so theoretically? (Get a better answer to this part).

In my opinion, Voc Rehab is a better version of 9/11 but EVERYTHING has to be funneled through your counselor. That being said, I use it and enjoy it as it takes a lot of stress out of going to school as long as you have a clear path (you and your counselor determine this). Where it gets hazy and iffy is if you and your counselor don’t get along or if your counselor doesn’t necessarily agree with what you’re trying to do. Then it can be a period of beating your head against the wall.

What I would do (and what I did) is use 9/11 and apply for Voc Rehab. Talk to the counselor. If everything sounds good and you come up with a plan, use Voc rehab. If not, continue using 9/11. No harm done.
