    It's tied to the registration period for which you're enrolled. The school will have a VA certifying official, and whatever the school or program reports to the them/the VA is the duration for which the benefit is active.

    Will double check as well. From the discussion, it sounded like regularly rounding given the significance, and these two fields were specifically discussed.

    Graduating psych residents…Job offers

    Eating disorders. Range from 2 weeks to 4 months it seems for length of stay, with affiliated IOP/PHP. Disposition shouldn’t be a huge issue for most, fortunately. Other specialists consult on the unit too (cards, GI). I will inquire further about when/what timeframe to expect the other!

    yes, but someone who takes the time to make a post and says "I have a strong desire to be a mom, but I also have this huge itch to go to medical school." is not typically one of those people.

    NP to physician

    Trading life and personal goals for a career (when a career with good potential and pay if she switches jobs) seems like a steep price to me.

    NP to physician

    Chapter 31 VR&E: Changes with the Appeal-Denial Process (2019)

    For me, retroactive induction of GI bill took about 4 months (mostly due to incompetence and lack of them filing). Once I contacted the congress or senators office, it was completed within 1-2 weeks. Step/Level 3 were covered for me.

    Masters degree in music

    Musician here who had a career in music prior. A degree in music isn't going to be what makes you the best you can be - that will be practice and the right direction/instruction which can be had in many cases without the degree - such as any continued mentorship from your undergrad. The 2 year...

    You could consider reaching out via Ask VA to utilize it retroactively given the update/interpretation and since you applied/requested before. Worst case is they say no and you waste 10-15 minutes of your time.
