Vocational Rehabilitation

Veterans who served in the armed forces during World War II or thereafter are eligible for vocational rehabilitation if all three of the following conditions are met:

• They suffered a service-connected disability in active service which entitles them to compensation, or would do so but for receipt of retirement pay;
   
• They were discharged or released under other than dishonorable conditions; and the VA determines that they need vocational rehabilitation to overcome the
   
• Handicap of their disabilities. Generally, a veteran is eligible for vocational rehabilitation for nine years following discharge or release.
