The VR&E Evaluation Prep Guide

Your VR&E case is decided by one counselor, on one phone call, using three questions from a government form most veterans never see.

This is the prep system I use with my one on one coaching clients, in two guides you work through yourself.

THE EVALUATION PREP GUIDE (44 pages) breaks down how the entitlement decision actually gets made. What the three questions are and what each one is testing. Why "I manage" is the costliest sentence in the process and what to say instead. A page by page tour of the real VA Form 28-1902w, including the seven areas VA itself lists as evidence of an employment barrier. The question that decides more cases than any other, and how not to talk yourself out of the goal you want. Plus a rehearsal chapter with fourteen practice questions and what the counselor is listening for in each answer.

THE EVIDENCE WORKBOOK (25 pages) builds the file that backs it up. Every document worth gathering and what each one proves. Condition by condition checklists. Exactly where to request each record and the wording to use. A one page tracker to run the whole chase against your evaluation date.

Both are worksheets you can print or type into.

WHO THIS IS FOR: veterans applying for or already in the VR&E process who want to walk into the evaluation prepared instead of hoping it goes well.

WHAT THIS IS NOT: I do not file anything for you, contact VA on your behalf, or guarantee any outcome. Your counselor alone decides entitlement. This is education. VR&E is free to apply for, and free help is available from your County Veterans Service Officer, VFW, DAV, and the American Legion. The Second Mission is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Department of Veterans Affairs, and this is not legal or medical advice.

THIRTY DAY GUARANTEE: If this does not help you prepare, email me at thesecondmissionvet@gmail.com and tell me what fell short, and I will refund you. No hoops.
