Abstract:

The training facility the Veteran attends, or the employer for whom the Veteran works, may also need to complete the form when the facility or employer requires specific types of supplies or equipment. Veterans may access the VAF 28-1905m from VA.gov or requesting the form from their assigned Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor (VRC). Veterans may return the completed VAF 28-1905m through centralized mail, via VR&E's Electronic Virtual Assistant (e-VA), in-person, or emailing the form to their assigned VRC. There are no other invitations or other communications sent to the respondent associated with the information collection. The VR&E staff subsequently uses the information on this form to approve the purchase of appropriate supplies and equipment or direct reimbursement for purchases of supplies and equipment for Veterans as part of a rehabilitation program. VAF 28-1905m allows Veterans in the VR&E program to receive supplies and equipment or be directly reimbursed for purchases of supplies and equipment that are necessary for the successful completion of their rehabilitation program.
