But I must tell you, sir, that it is not uncommon for someone medically releasing, whose limitations are so severe that a return to school is not even on the table. We tell them they have the chance to hop out of school with SISIP. They will still get the earnings loss. But for SISIP to set them up in school can at times be setting them up for failure.
Two years down the road, when they'll be in a better place, their symptoms are better controlled, and their providers are in place, the treatment will show and the psychologist will confirm that they're ready for vocational assistance. It's reassuring for the member to know that he or she doesn't have to sign up for school the day after release. It's offered to him or her two years down the road.
