The VA-VR&E service is vested with delivering timely, effective vocational rehabilitation services to veterans with service-connected disabilities. Enabling our injured soldiers, sailors, airmen, and other veterans with disabilities for a seamless transition from military service to a successful rehabilitation and on to suitable employment after service to our Nation. For some severely disabled veterans, this success will be to live independently, achieving the highest quality of life possible with a realized hope for employment given future advances in medical science and technology.

This program's primary function is to help veterans who have service-connected disabilities become suitably employed, maintain employment, or achieve independence in daily living.  To receive an evaluation for vocational rehabilitation services, a veteran must:

• Have received, or eventually receive, an honorable or other than dishonorable discharge
• Have a VA service-connected disability rating of 10% or more
• Apply for vocational rehabilitation services

A Comprehensive Evaluation is completed with a Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor that includes:

• A full assessment of the veteran's interests, aptitudes, and abilities to determine whether the veteran is "entitled" to VR&E services
• An assessment of whether service-connected disabilities impair the veteran's ability to find and/or hold a job using the occupational skills already attained
• Vocational exploration and goal development
