Veteran Readiness and Employment (VR&E), also known as Chapter 31, is one of the VA’s most powerful programs for disabled veterans seeking a new career path. VR&E can fund college degrees, graduate school, law school, medical training, professional certifications, apprenticeships, and even self-employment plans—when the veteran meets eligibility standards and the training is necessary to overcome the effects of service-connected disabilities. For many veterans, VR&E is the key to long-term employment, financial stability, and a career that fits their limitations and goals.
Despite its potential, VR&E is often misunderstood and inconsistently applied. Veterans may face improper denials, incorrect track selections, pressure to pursue unsuitable careers, or difficulty proving they need higher-level training.

Krause Law helps veterans navigate every stage of the VR&E process—from initial applications and entitlement assessments to plan development, denials, and appeals. With decades of experience in VR&E advocacy, we work to ensure veterans receive the training, accommodations, and career opportunities they are entitled to under the law. Our mission is simple: help veterans secure a meaningful professional future through the benefits they earned.
