Findings were 0 % Disability, Seperation with Serverence Pay, $3019.45, I hear you get it within 60 days of discharge is that true? I wanted to appeal but I was an IET soldeir so I spent 6 months with no phones, tv, internet and such , I was allowed to eat chow and sleep, thats it so i wasnt gona reach the extra time there but i have been advised to go to the VA.

Injury is Testicular Torsion, I lost my right testicle, the told me I was 75% fertal.

What do ya think? I was thinking of trying to get the VA to pay for school maby, also can you keep the severence pay and not receive checks from the VA but still use GI BILL from VA altho your checks would be going to your serverence pay debt?
 
I would call the VA directly at 1-800-827-1000 to talk to someone about their education benefits. With the new GI Bill coming out in August 2009, it might be better to use the VA Vocational Rehab now and switch to the GI Bill when you are able to make the switch from the GI Bill you paid into into this new post September 11, 2001 GI Bill. If you go through a degree that won't have a lot of labs or fees or travel plans that you'd have to pay for, this might be the best option for coming out ahead on.

Good luck and welcome to the forum! :)
