You are eligible if VA has given you 20% or more. I never used it, however.

Be careful. My Voc Rehab counselor screwed me and they burned my GI Bill(pre 9/11) funds for it instead, without my knowledge.

Found out the hard way when trying to finish my Masters.

I got my MA using the GI bill; later when I was given 40% from VA they sent me to forms to apply for Vocational Rehab.
