Section 21.8284 - Additional vocational training

VA may provide an additional period of training or services under a vocational training program to an eligible child who has completed training for a vocational goal and/or been suitably employed under this subpart, if the child is otherwise eligible and has remaining program entitlement as provided in § 21.8072(b) , only under one of the following conditions:

(a) Current facts, including any relevant medical findings, establish that the child's disability has worsened to the extent that he or she can no longer perform the duties of the occupation which was the child's vocational goal under this subpart;
(b) The occupation that was the child's vocational goal under this subpart is now unsuitable;
(c) The vocational training program services and assistance the child originally received are now inadequate to make the child employable in the occupation which he or she sought to achieve;
(d) Experience has demonstrated that VA should not reasonably have expected employment in the objective or field for which the child received vocational training program services and assistance; or
(e) Technological change that occurred after the child achieved a vocational goal under this subpart now prevents the child from:
(1) Performing the duties of the occupation for which VA provided training, services, or assistance, or in a related occupation; or
(2) Securing employment in the occupation for which VA provided training, services, or assistance, or in a related occupation.
