Background
I am 3B released effective 18 months ago and I’ve been participating in the SISIP voc rehab program.
Due to a plethora of issues, and time constraints, I selected a program of study in the trades and have come to realize that my service injury is completely preventing me from being able to do this job.
I noticed that the education benefit for veterans says that it’s available for 10 years after release but that a veteran is ineligible while participating in the Voc Rehab program.
My question is this ... does VAC offer educational re training while on the Voc rehab program while I’m in collection of ELB after the 24 month period with SISIP?
My case manager said she can’t discuss it with me until I’m no longer being handled by SISIP, and my SISIP advisor has told me that there are many nuances with VAC paid educational re training.
Could someone please shed some light for me based on either their personal experiences, or with documentation that provides a clear indication? (I haven’t been able to find any)
Cheers
