is the first step in developing a successful rehabilitation plan for
each Veteran. The VR&E staff subsequently, will use the information on
this form to ensure a suitable vocational goal is identified as part of
the Veteran's rehabilitation plan to assist him or her in obtaining and
maintaining suitable employment.
This form will be obtained through electronic methods to include
<a href="http://VA.gov">VA.gov</a> or by the referring Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor. Upon
compilation of the data, the form will be electronically submitted to
the appropriate VR&E staff.

Frequency of Response: One time.
Estimated Number of Respondents: 66,344 per year.
By direction of the Secretary.
