If VA is anything like WA, you have to apply for training grants almost at the same time or shortly thereafter your initial claim. In WA, the first chunk of money for training is called Commissioner Approved Training (CAT). Within X number of weeks, you should also apply for what is inexplicably called Training Benefits. These are for extensions to the CAT.

And if you are interested in a Type Rating through WIA, look at my other thread in Flight Training for more information.
