  • It was bad when I first started with Chapter 33

  • First, Ch.31 is Vocational Rehabilitation and is not part of the GI Bill. Transitioning from benefit to benefit does takes some time and the time depends on your regional processing offices number of pending claims. You act is if receiving a benefit is the worst possible thing in the world and your mortified that you have to go to college like a normal person who receives no benefits. Give me a break.

  • I applied for benefits by mail, so I'm really hoping it goes through smoothly.
