Abstract: The VA Form 22-10272 will be utilized to permit beneficiaries to apply for reimbursement of approved preparatory courses.

Without approval of this form, eligible beneficiaries may be harmed due to the inability to apply for the reimbursement they may be rightly entitled to pursuant to 38 U.S. Code § 3315B.
