: The Department of Veterans Affair's Veterans Benefits Administration's Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment (VR&E) service is vested with delivering timely, effective vocational rehabilitation services to veterans with service-connected disabilities. Enabling our injured soldiers, sailors, airmen, and other veterans with disabilities for a seamless transition from military service to a successful rehabilitation and on to suitable employment after service to our Nation. For some severely disabled veterans, this success will be to live independently, achieving the highest quality of life possible with a realized hope for employment given future advances in medical science and technology. The Vocational Rehabilitation and Employment service strives to exceed the service delivery expectations of veterans and their families.VR&E

: On September 11, 2006, an independent Commission was convened with the sole purpose of defining a Future for American's Veterans.

That future is changing because modern warfare and a revolution in technology and medicine bring more and more of our military men and women home with unprecedented challenges. We must transcend political and budgetary battles to support lifelong health and well-being for today's veterans -and for the generations before and after them.
