VA Form 28-10281 is used by a Service member or Veteran to request restoration of entitlement due to effects of a facility closure or program of training or course disapproval. The VR&E program subsequently uses the information on this form to determine if a Service member or Veteran qualifies for restoration of entitlement under 38 U.S.C 3699 (b)(1)(A). Without the information, restoration of entitlement under Chapter 31 could not be determined. Veterans and Service members are able to access and complete the VA Form 28-10281 by using the VA Forms external website “Find a Form” and submit the completed and signed form one of the following ways: by mail, email to their assigned Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor (VRC), in-person to a VA Regional Office, or VR&E out-based location. The Veteran or Service member receives a notification letter if their request for restoration of entitlement is granted or denied by their assigned VRC.
