From what point of time does a veteran have to use their Vocational Rehabilitation benefits?

Vocational Rehabilitation benefits for veterans are typically available for a period that extends up to 12 years after the date of discharge from active military service. This time frame is designed to ensure that veterans have access to the necessary resources and support for their transition into civilian employment and to help them overcome any service-related challenges that may hinder their ability to work.

The 12-year window recognizes the unique experiences and needs of veterans, allowing them to access vocational training, education programs, and job placement assistance during a significant period following their military service. The intent is to provide adequate time for veterans to identify their career goals and to develop the skills necessary to succeed in the workforce.
