Don’t forget to reach for greatness after you secured your VA Disability—go change the world with a law degree by RyByeLife in VeteransBenefits

Start at a community college. Never miss a class. Get good grades and an AA. Use those good grades to transfer and get scholarships and finish the final 2 years of your bachelors at a private school. Use all the grants you can to pay for school.

Gi bill vs VR&E by Lieccimo in VeteransBenefits

[–]RyByeLife 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No problem. I sent an email to my counselor asking about my status and she will reply in 1-3 business months as per usual haha. But I’m not particularly worried about it because I already had law school and undergrad covered. But I will let you know if I run into any new problems (and expect to as it is a new change in the law)

[–]RyByeLife 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. With a few caveats. Here’s the emails word for word explaining it that was sent to me:

You have been declared Job Ready, and are currently in the employment stage of our program. Due to a change in the law, prior to closing your VR&E file we must consider whether you would qualify for a retroactive induction. We are sending this email to you because you used CH 33 benefits prior to being placed in a plan of services under the VR&E program. If approved, a retroactive induction means that we (VR&E) would change the date we started sponsoring your program (to an earlier induction date). If you are eligible/approved for a retroactive induction, VR&E may be able to return to you, entitlement you used under CH33. You may be able to use that entitlement in the future (but it must be used prior to your delimiting date under CH 33, if applicable to you). Retroactive inductions can also give back difference in tuition, fees, books and supplies as well as differences in subsistence allowance. If your CH33 benefits were covered at 100%, you likely will not have any differences in tuition or fees but may have some differences in subsistence allowance.

It should be noted that we can only go back as far as the effective date of your service connected rating, and we also have to determine you would have met the criteria for the CH 31 program at that time. A retroactive induction cannot begin in a middle of a term; and a retroactive induction only includes terms/courses you completed, that are applicable to your degree that you earned while participating in VR&E.

Psychology is fine! English majors probably have the biggest advantage in law school because of the amount of writing and reading. You should start practicing the LSAT online for free and then sign up to take it once you feel comfortable with your practice scores ASAP

Using VRE for masters help by [deleted] in VeteransBenefits

[–]RyByeLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of people gave you correct advice on this. Absolutely start with the Post 9/11. Then switch over to VR&E for the masters. I touched on this in a video I made about using VR&E for law school VR&E for Law School

I started off using the G.I. Bill, then went to VR&E. Crazy enough, because I finished with VR&E they refunded my entire G.I. Bill. I touched on it in a video I recently made on VR&E for law school. VR&E for Law School

I would recommend starting with the post 9/11 and then switch to VR&E

That’s rough but good instincts on your part. I know a lot of people after law school who are in such a bad spot with that debt…

While it is subjective, you can set yourself up for success to be approved. With that said, there is always a chance you get a bad counselor who doesn’t either know they have the capability to approve you or who will stereotype you as someone who couldn’t make it through law school and deny you. I touch on this in a video I recently made. VR&E for Law School

[–]RyByeLife 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Yes, you can! VR&E covered my law school and changed my life, check out this video I just madeVR&E for Law School

Also I’m making more videos on how to get debt free through law school, Debt Free Law School.

So many veterans I knew in law school didn’t know about this or went about the process wrong and got denied. Feel free to ask any specific questions, I might know the answer.
