SERVICE MEMBERS AND THE VETERANS THEY BECOME.

"Treat people as if they were what they ought to be and you help them become what they are capable of being."

Mel Wilson, Vocational Rehabilitation & Employment Officer


Vocational Rehabilition is a program of services for service members and veterans with service-connected physical or mental disabilities found entitled through a process of evaluation and planning. Often, these individuals experience limitations in getting and keeping a job as well as in their daily living activities. If needed, our program can:

  • Prepare you for a suitable job
  • Help you keep that job
  • Assist you to become fully productive and independent

VA has a new Internet web site where veterans and some active service members can apply for compensation, pension, and vocational rehabilitation benefits on line.   It is called "VONAPP" for Veterans On-Line Applications.   These are interactive benefits application forms aimed at people who are applying for the first time.

Note:  Persons using Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) version 4.01 or higher, or Netscape Navigator version 4.7 or higher may use the automated forms.   Persons with other versions of browsers may download copies of the forms from the forms web site.
