Servicemembers awaiting discharge for such disability to apply for 
vocational rehabilitation benefits. VA provides services and assistance 
to Veterans with service-connected disabilities, who are determined 
entitled to such benefits, to obtain and maintain suitable employment. 
Vocational rehabilitation also provides services to support Veterans 
with service-connected disabilities to achieve maximum independence in 
their daily living activities if employment is not reasonably feasible. 
This form is necessary to facilitate claims processing by providing a 
consistent format for the certification statement.
    An agency may not conduct or sponsor, and a person is not required
