Wondering if you qualify for VR&E (Chapter 31)? Answer a few questions to see where you stand on the core requirements — rating, employment handicap, and discharge.
Sources: VA — VR&E eligibility, 38 CFR Part 21 (Ch.31)
Was your discharge under conditions other than dishonorable?
An Other Than Honorable (OTH) discharge isn't automatically qualifying or disqualifying — VA makes a character of discharge determination case by case. If that's you, treat this as "maybe" and apply; a VSO can help.
What's your VA service-connected disability rating?
Note: the old 12-year application window was largely removed for veterans whose eligibility began on or after Jan 1, 2013 (Isakson-Roe Act). If your eligibility is older, a time limit may apply — a counselor confirms.
Guidance only — VR&E eligibility is determined by VA after an evaluation. Confirm with a Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor or a free VSO.
