    You could qualify for a chapter 31. Its your GI Bill but beefed up even more.

    Contact your local VSO (Veteran Service Office). Each state has some sort of VSO. You may have to do some searching online; but they will help you a lot more.

    Good luck and thank you for serving!!

    Your wife is also entitled to educational benefits. She may receive $951/mo for tuition, books and fees for up to 48 months. This gives her the opportunity to complete a degree and better help support your family. She is entitled to Champ VA/Tri-Care as is your child. She does not have to use a military or VA facility, but should she choose to do so, she can. Many hospitals, MDs, etc, accept Champ VA, which is mostly reduced hassle and decent coverage.

    If the nature of your injuries recommend, the government will pay to retrofit your dwelling to make it more accessible to you. Check with the Veterans Counselor/Coordinator at your educational institution as to what is available through the school or the state, as often there are additional benefits which may serve you well.

    Good luck and God go with you.

    Vocational Rehabilitation and home repairs to make your house adapted to your disability. You should contact a veterans advocacy group. If it's California, you can ask DAV to come to your house to help you process paperwork. They are awesome.
