100% yes. The transfer still needs to happen before you get out, but on the Ch 31 page, there are many examples of people who didn't have the GI Bill and were using Voc Rehab. You just won't get the monthly stipend if you don't save at least a day (month is best) of benefits for yourself. You have to sign up for the Ch 31 program and be approved before you qualify to receive the stipend as well. In case I was confusing, yes you can get Voc Rehab, your benefits will just be a little different. You can see all the Ch 31 benefits you qualify for in the M28R.

Thank you for the info. I haven't done any research myself yet, so forgive me if this is a stupid question and I'll do my own research before asking. If I'm rated at 10%, for example, but I can still do my job (being a lawyer), can I still get voc rehab to go to medical school now that the SEH requirement is gone? This sounds like I'm cheating the system.
