Interventions
Benefits counseling is designed to improve the quality of life of disability applicants by accomplishing two functions: 1) Providing information concerning what vocational rehabilitation services are available and how they will affect receipt of disability payments, 2) Amplifying applicants' existing motivation to engage in work and related-activities, using a Motivational Interviewing approach.
VA Orientation is designed to provide the Veteran with information regarding the services available, how to access the services and where the service is located on the VA campus.
