VA benefits - learning to fly
Please forgive me if I have missed the answer to my question, but I have searched the threads and haven't found any new and relevant info for my question below..
Has flight training benefits been expanded to include sport and private pilot training? I understand that there was much talk about it in the past but I can't find any recent updates. Thanks.

Yes, used post 9/11 for 737 type + ATP check. Not the most cost effective use of the post 9/11. Went through Higher Power, they are very good at pushing the paper work for you. However, the tuition was between 7-8k, and the VA charged me between 10-11 months of benefits.
