VA recommends you appoint an accredited Veterans Service Officer to help you initiate your claim, gather the required medical records and evidence, and submit your claim online at eBenefits.va.gov.

VA's work study program gives student-Veterans the opportunity for hands-on work experience and a monthly part-time income while they are going back to school as part of the Post-9/11 GI Bill or other VA education benefit program.

Through the VA-work study program, Veterans who are ¾ or full-time students in a college degree, vocational or professional program, can "earn while they learn" with a VA work-study allowance.

With an FDC, Veterans submit all required records and documentation at the time they make their claim and certify that they have no further evidence. VA can then review and process the claim more quickly. Learn more: http://www.benefits.va.gov/fdc.
