Vets ask about Korean GI Bill course lists and rehab deadlines
The VA in Washington DC does not publish a single approved course list. Each regional VA office keeps its own list of state approved courses. Veterans must contact their regional office for information. A Korea veteran discharged in 1956 has a nine year deadline for vocational rehab under Public Law 894, or Jan 31 1964, with exceptions possible. Special restorative training under War Orphans Education does not include medical care but offers courses like braille reading and language retraining to help pursue regular schooling.
