This facility is staffed by expert benefits counselors who can access the DOD computer and answer most benefits questions. This is a list of the benefits available. The are three steps involved. After the V.A. Office submits the completed forms, it takes six to eight weeks the first time as the V.A. will set up a new file.
Payment is made at the end of each month and is sent directly to the veteran.
The schedule is predetermined by factors such as years of service and the number of credits taken. The full-time rate is broken down as follows. Take the maximum for full-time and divide by the increments of credits. Once a veteran has established a file with the V.A., making changes such as going to another school or changing a major is simple. The V.A. will require that Form 22-1995 be completed and this should be done by the new school or if it is just a change of program, see the Campus V.A. Office.
