re: #287 Decatur Deb

That seems to describe the closing off of disability-based college assistance from VA. What about the service-based GI college benefits based simply on service, the same kind every enlistee is supposed to get?

At the time I reënlisted after my broken service, the Montgomery GI Bill had not come into effect, and the Vietnam Era Assistance Programme (a contribution programme) had just been repealed. There is about a year and a half period where there were no college benefits for serving in the military.

But the law requires withdrawing college benefits provided by military service if you are declared unemployable by the VA anyway. (Epilepsy is an automatic finding of unemployability, regardless whether it can be controlled by medication, surgery, or other methods, or not.)
