15 January 2006, 18:07
I am happy there are veterans involve in the fight to gain fair treatment for veterans needs. I am in a fight of my own at this time and I would like to know your opinion.
I am very concern about the focus of the Veteran administration the approach , and the time spent trying to find fault in a veteran’s educational process of earning a college degree instead of helping a veteran to find a solutions to problems that he is facing in his efforts to earn college degree. one of the problem that I am faced with in working with the Veteran Administration Vocational rehabilitation program is that The Veteran Administration VR agreed to help me to gain training that would help me become more employable because i have a service connected physical disability that has caused me a great deal of problems finding suitable employment. The Veteran Administration VR helped me with tuition and books and a monthly stipend while I been working toward my degree. Yet, I have one semester to go in finish my degree program and The Veteran Administration VR refuse to help me with the cost. So, instead of The Veteran Administration VR offering me a solution to my problem they just leave me hanging. I have to go out and find resources that would help me with my last semester of earning my degree. I had been working with the State vocational rehabilitation services for about 2 or 3 years before I could get any help from The Veteran Administration VR . I even tried to educate myself with skills by attending a vocational school and learning Telecommunication with out any assistance from The Veteran Administration VR even though I have an service connected disability that was not rated higher enough to receive any help from The Veteran Administration VR .
Yet, the key issue is I have been cut off from the The Veteran Administration VR for help with my tuition and books and stipend. Therefore, the school is using my Pell grant to pay my tuition and I am running short of funds for my books.The Veteran Administration VR is up in arms about me mentioning to them that the State Vocational Rehabilitative service agreed to help me with my tuition and to provide other services that were needed that The Veteran Administration VR did not pay for or take care of in order to help me complete my training so that I could have the right skills in order to find work and earn a living. Now the The Veteran Administration VR want me to sign a release of information form in order to in give them authorization to get my file from the State Vocational Rehabilitation to see if they were paying for my books and tuition. I feel if The Veteran Administration VR were so concerned about student financial aid resources that I am getting to help with my education then they should check with the school financial aid department that I am attending in order to see what kind of financial aid that I am receiving. I have no problem giving them a sign release form to request my information from the State Vocational Rehabilitation service but I am concern with the time and aggravation of them looking for problems to issues concerning my student financial aid resources instead of helping me to find solution to problems they have created by not being willing to help pay for my last semester of training that would lead to a degree.
